Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chunks
  • Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9×5 or 8×5 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
  2. Melt butter and oil: In a large bowl, melt the butter and oil together either in the microwave or on the stovetop using a medium saucepan.
  3. Combine sugars: If you melted butter on the stove, transfer it to a large bowl. Add both granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Add egg and vanilla: Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and slightly fluffy.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, whisking continuously until the flour mixture completely disappears and the batter is smooth.
  6. Fold in chocolate chunks: Gently fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour and spread batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and evenly spread it out to cover the full pan surface.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs for a fudgy texture.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top to add a savory touch that enhances the chocolate flavor.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of brownies.
  • Check brownies at the 20-minute mark to avoid overbaking depending on your oven’s performance.
  • Substitute chocolate chunks with nuts or different types of chocolate for variation.
  • Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace butter with vegan butter or coconut oil.
