Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the brownies evenly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave an extra two inches over the sides to help lift the brownies out easily once baked. Lightly spray or butter the exposed sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or using a stand mixer, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is fully combined and smooth without any dry pockets.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Evenly pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the batter uniformly for consistent thickness.
  7. Bake: Place the pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the brownies halfway through baking for extra chocolatey goodness.
  8. Check for Doneness: Brownies are done when the top looks shiny and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan. Use the parchment edges to lift them out and cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake by a few minutes and let them cool completely before cutting.
  • Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if desired.
  • You can add nuts or different chocolate chunks for variety.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Use parchment paper to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
