Fudgy Homemade Brownies
These are the ultimate fudgy homemade brownies. Featuring a shiny, crackly top, chewy edges, and a dense, chocolatey center, they are far better than any box mix. Simple to make and incredibly decadent.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (see notes for reduction)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 teaspoons sea salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Spray the parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and sea salt. Whisk until well blended.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, water, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Sprinkle the dry mix over the wet mix and stir using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan (the batter will be thick) and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the structure to set.
Notes
Sugar Reduction: You can reduce the granulated sugar to 1 cup for a less sweet, deeper chocolate flavor.
Oil Choice: Olive oil adds a beautiful floral note that pairs perfectly with chocolate, but canola oil provides a neutral flavor.
Cooling is Key: These brownies are very fudgy; if you cut them warm, they will be messy. For the cleanest slices, refrigerate before cutting.
