Brown Sugar Brownies
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Spray an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place two pieces of parchment paper, each approximately 9 inches long and 6 ½ inches wide crisscross in the pan so that the ends extend on all 4 sides. Secure with metal clips, if desired.
- Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place butter, oil and chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Fill a small saucepan with approximately 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
- Remove pan from heat and place bowl of chocolate, butter and oil mixture on top forming a double boiler. Do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the hot water. Allow the mixture to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together both sugars and eggs vigorously for several minutes until sugar dissolves.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt until well blended.
- Pour melted chocolate, butter and oil mixture into sugar and eggs and whisk well.
- Using a rubber spatula, blend dry ingredients into chocolate mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake brownies for approximately 33-35 minutes or until a small knife inserted into the center comes out almost clean.
- Remove clips, if using, and allow the brownie to cool in the pan.
- Chill brownie until firm.
- Grabbing overlapping parchment paper on either side of the pan, remove brownie and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into approximately 9 brownies.
- Store brownies in an airtight container.
