Best Ever Brownies

Makes 9 brownies

Ingredients:

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (43g) cocoa powder

1 teaspoon espresso powder optional (don’t use if you don’t like coffee)

3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter

2 Tablespoons (28ml) vegetable oil

1 and 1/3 cups (265g) granulated sugar

2 large large eggs

1 large egg yolk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract optional, but recommended

3/4 cup (128 grams) chocolate chips

Method:

Melt butter, oil, and the chocolate together until smooth and shiny. Whisk the eggs and the sugar to ribbon consistency. The sugar should have dissolved fully at this stage.

Fold in the chocolate mixture in the eggs, add in the dry sifted ingredients, fold lightly and pour in prepared 9×9 inch tin. Bake at 175°C for 22-25 mins.

Let is cool completely for about 45-60 mins for the edges to set well, the centre will still remain slightly gooey. Cut into squares and serve!

Want an eggless verion?
Simply substitute the eggs with 100g of yoghurt and add 1/2 tsp of cornflour to your dry ingredients.

Which chocolate should you use?
Using good quality Chocolate for your brownies makes a huge difference. I recommend using coverture chocolate from brands like Callebaut or Van Houten or other high quality chocolate bars like Lindt. Using chocolate compounds results in a very greasy taste.
