Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1 ¼ cups (238g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (78ml) vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup (59ml) milk
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (40g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cups (168g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus additional for garnish
  • Flakey Sea Salt garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease an 8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat together until well combined. Add the egg and beat just until combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Bake: Spread the batter in the prepared pan, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top, and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out slightly damp. Cool before cutting.

Notes

  • Baking times: Several people have reported longer baking times. Use the toothpick test to determine doneness.
  • Storing: Best for 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container, or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freezing: Wrap each brownie individually in plastic wrap. Thaw in the fridge, on the counter, or microwave for 15-30 seconds to warm.
