Ingredient Preparation
240g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tbsp vegetable oil
260g white sugar
200g packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
3/4tsp salt
130g all purpose flour
100g good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
200g course chopped chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175 C
  2. Lightly grease a 20 X 30 cm baking pan
  3. Combine melted butter, oil and sugars together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well to combine
  4. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until lighter in colour (this should take another minute)
  5. Sift in four, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not over-beat this
  6. Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate pieces
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly and top with the remaining chocolate pieces
  8. Bake for 25-30 min for just under-done brownies. The centre of the brownies should no longer jiggle, and is just set to touch. Toothpick should come out dirty. Leave 35-40 min for well done and firm brownies.
  9. Remove from pan after 15-20 minutes
