  • Yield 16 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter
  • 3 TBSP Dry milk powder
  • 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup White granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 Large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 Egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 TBSP Oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it bubble and foam until it turns amber in color, adding the dry milk powder just before it browns.
  2. Stir in the sifted cocoa powder for about 30 seconds. Transfer the butter to a bowl and freeze for 15 minutes to cool quickly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×9 inch pan by spraying it with nonstick spray and lining the bottom and two sides with parchment paper.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, and salt, then set aside.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, powdered sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed for 3 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in the cooled butter, oil, and vanilla using a spatula. Gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined. Finally, incorporate the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 34-36 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains slightly underdone. It will continue baking as it cools.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a cooling rack, then remove them from the pan and cut into 16 squares.

Notes

Make sure to use room-temperature eggs for better mixing.
Refrigerate any leftovers for up to a week to maintain freshness.
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate.
