Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • ½ cup vegetable oil this ensures a moist texture.
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder adds rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar sweetens the brownies perfectly.
  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • 2 large eggs binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds depth and warmth.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour provides structure.
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for that extra chocolatey goodness.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven Mitts

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your brownies bake evenly.
  2. Line your 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and all-purpose flour into the wet mixture. Gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Wrap brownies tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • For longer storage, freeze brownies with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 months.
  • Underbake slightly for fudgier brownies; they will continue to set as they cool.
