Ingredients:
- 240g of unsalted butter
- 30ml of cooking oil
- 350g of mixed sugars (half white, half brown)
- 4 large eggs
- A few drops of vanilla extract
- 130g of all-purpose flour
- 100g of high-quality cocoa powder
- Chopped chocolate (mixture of milk and dark for a balanced flavor)
Instructions:
- Melt the Butter: Combine the butter and vanilla extract in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the butter is completely melted.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted butter into a mixing bowl. Add the oil and mixed sugars, and stir until well combined.
- Add Eggs: Crack the eggs into the bowl, one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate them fully.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and cocoa powder together and then gently fold them into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare Chocolate: Fold in the chopped chocolate pieces.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft for fudgy brownies.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan, then cut into squares.
