Ingredients
– ¾ cup olive oil or vegetable oil
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
– 1 ⅓ cups unsweetened Dutch processed cocoa powder
– ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
– 4 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee
– ½ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2-Second Step: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, olive oil, melted chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy; for the vegan option, use a flaxseed egg mixture instead.
3-Third Step: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and reduce lumps.
4-Fourth Step: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until fully combined without overmixing to keep the brownies light.
5-Fifth Step: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula for even baking.
6-Sixth Step: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs; keep an eye on it to adjust for high altitude.
7-Final Step: Remove brownies from the oven, allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving; this helps them set properly for the best texture.
