The BEST Brownies

eyedocbakes

This brownie recipe is sooo good, I just keep making it on repeat the last few months. It’s kinda wild to have a food blog and not have an amazing brownie recipe. Well – I finally made it. These are the absolute best brownies ever. They are fudgy, and soft, and chocolate-y, with the perfect crackly top; the most decadent, indulgent brownies you’re gonna make. I had posted them on my reels on instagram, but never got around to typing them up in a post. So, without further ado – here they are! They are ONE BOWL and only take about 30 minutes. Make them now!

What You’ll Need. . . 

unsalted butter

vegetable oil

granulated sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

chocolate chips (mini and regular)

flour

cocoa powder

baking soda

salt

Place your butter in a microwave safe medium sized bowl and microwave 20-30 seconds until melted. Remove and mix in the vegetable oil and whisk in the sugar. Make sure the mixture is not too hot. If it is, wait a few minutes. Next add in the eggs and vanilla and continue whisking. In a microwave safe glass melt mini chocolate chips in 30 second intervals until melted – mix in between microwaving. Let cool a couple minutes, then whisk into your batter. Now you’ll add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into the batter. Switch to a rubber spatula. Fold the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined – do not overmix. Now fold in the regular sized chocolate chips. Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare your 8×8 inch square pan. I like to butter it, then line the pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter in and smooth it out. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is crinkly, but it is no longer wiggly in the middle when you move the pan. You do want some movement, so that it can be soft and fudgy. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into squares and eating. 

Some Notes. . . 

  1. You an use regularly sized chocolate chips instead of mini ones – I still use 1/2 cup. 
  2. Make sure to let the brownies cool completely if you want a clean cut – otherwise they are very soft in the middle and difficult to cut neatly. If you don’t mind a little mess – these are gooey perfection while still cooling – so go ahead and enjoy!
