Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder and water. Stir well and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
Add the dark chocolate and butter to the saucepan. Stir continuously until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour in the olive oil. Stir until the oil is well incorporated.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, and salt.
Gradually add the chocolate mixture from the saucepan into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped milk chocolate pieces into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. The brownies will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
Tips:
- Using high-quality chocolate can truly elevate the taste of your brownies. Opt for the best you can find.
- Do not overmix the batter once you combine the wet and dry ingredients; overmixing can lead to dense brownies.
- To ensure even baking, spread the batter into an even layer in your baking dish and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This helps in achieving the perfect chewy texture.
- Feel free to customize by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or a slight pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
There you have it—perfectly chocolate brownies that are easy to make and incredibly delicious. Enjoy them on their own, with a scoop of ice cream, or drizzled with extra chocolate sauce for an added treat. Share with friends and family or keep them all to yourself: either way, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
