Oven Temperature:

Preheat oven to 325°F

Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup chocolate chips

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease or line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

granulated sugar

flour

cocoa powder

powdered sugar

chocolate chips

sea salt

 Stir until evenly mixed.

eggs

olive oil

water

vanilla extract

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies soft and fudgy.

Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let brownies cool before slicing for the perfect fudgy texture.

Enjoy warm with a glass of milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or straight from the pan.
