Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (113 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30 milliliters)
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar (267 grams)
  • 2/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder (54 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour (62 grams)
  • 1 cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chips plus more for topping (170 grams)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 by 9 inch baking dish with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the melted butter and oil in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth using a wooden spoon.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar, 2/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, espresso powder, and salt. Stir to combine and then slowly mix in the flour. The batter will be thick. Stir in the chocolate chips.
    2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, 1/2 teaspoon table salt, 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and top with more chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Bake for 21 to 25 minutes or until the brownies just lose that glossy sheen around the edges and a toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean. Cool before cutting.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to one month.
