Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (can swap half with brown sugar)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch for sprinkling on top
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (180g) dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet or bittersweet

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly pale, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and a pinch of sea salt on top.
  7. Bake for 22-26 minutes, checking at 22 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before lifting out with the parchment paper.
  9. For melty chips, warm brownies slightly before serving (about 15 seconds in the microwave).

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid cakey brownies. Use mild, fruity extra virgin olive oil for best flavor. Check brownies early to prevent overbaking. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking to enhance flavor. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Almond flour can be used for gluten-free adaptation.
