Description

These fudgy brownies are a rich, chocolatey treat perfect for any occasion. Combining the smoothness of vegetable oil with the deep flavor of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of semi-sweet chocolate chips on top, these brownies offer a moist, dense texture with a delightful gooey center. Baked gently in a 9×13 pan, they are easy to prepare and yield 24 generous servings ideal for sharing.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or use 1 cup melted and cooled butter)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 10 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt

Additional

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (Guittard brand recommended; use a bit more if you like)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9″x13″ baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and set it aside for use later.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened baking cocoa, and Morton kosher salt. This ensures an even distribution of the dry components.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl, stirring until the batter is evenly combined without overmixing. Then gently fold in the vanilla extract to boost the flavor.
  5. Pour batter and add chocolate chips: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared 9″x13″ pan. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top to add extra richness.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off the oven but leave the pan inside and let it bake for an additional 15 minutes in the residual heat. This method ensures fudgy, moist brownies with a perfect texture.
  7. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting and serving, ensuring clean slices and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Using melted butter instead of vegetable oil will add richness and a slightly different flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
  • Adjust chocolate chip quantity based on your preference for extra chocolate bursts in every bite.
  • Leaving the brownies in the turned-off oven for additional baking helps achieve a moist, fudgy texture without drying them out.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely to set properly before slicing.
