Ingredients:

1/2 cup raisins
90g
2 tbsp rum
30g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
3 eggs
150g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Raisins:
a. Place the raisins in a small bowl.
b. Pour the rum over the raisins and set aside. Let the raisins soak in the rum for at least 30 minutes to plump up.
2. Preheat the Oven:
a. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
b. Grease or line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
3. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
a. In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter.
b. Melt them together using the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
c. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and butter using a double boiler.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
a. In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate and butter mixture with the brown sugar.
b. Add the olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
5. Sift Dry Ingredients:
a. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose wheat flour, baking powder, and dry cocoa powder.
6. Mix the Batter:
a. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
b. Gently fold in the soaked raisins and any remaining rum.
7. Bake:
a. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
b. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool and Serve:
a. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
b. Once cool, cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

- Soak the raisins in rum overnight for a more intense flavor.: To maximize the rum infusion, let the raisins soak overnight rather than just for a couple of hours. This will ensure the raisins are plump and full of flavor.

- Use good quality dark chocolate.: The quality of chocolate can make a huge difference in your brownies' flavor. Opt for high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the richness of the taste.

- Avoid overmixing the batter.: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, resulting in cakey rather than fudgy brownies.

- Check for doneness with a toothpick.: Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies; it should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. This ensures they are baked through but still moist and fudgy.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.: Allowing the brownies to cool will make them easier to cut and help achieve clean, even pieces.

Once out of the oven, allow your Chocolate Rum Raisin Brownies to cool before cutting them into delicious squares. These brownies are perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a celebratory dessert. Enjoy the luxurious blend of flavors and the moist, fudgy texture that these unique brownies have to offer.
