The best brownies

Ready in 40 mins | makes 12 portions

Quarantine day...well I lost track HAHA also I made my own brownie recipe cuz I had this interesting pan I got for Christmas that was just begging me to make brownies hope you enjoy :)

You'll need

• (1) 9 x 12" pan

• 3/4 cup AP flour

• 1/4 cup (or 2 rounded tbsp) dutch processed cacao

• 1 tsp bkp (that's short for baking powder in my recipe world)

• 1/2 cup natural cane sugar (or less for a less sweet, deeper cacao flavour, but this recipe isn't overly sweet)

• 1/4 cup melted salted butter (or use unsalted + 1 pinch salt)

• 1/4 cup veg oil

• 1 egg + 2 yolks

• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or just go nuts with whatever the heck you wanna add)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Combine AP flour, cacao, and sugar in a medium bowl.

3. Add melted butter and veg oil stirring well to combine.

4. Add eggs and mix well.

5. Pour batter into your pan. If you're using the weird contraption like I did, grease and place the insert firmly into the batter.

6. Bake for 30 mins or until the tops are firm and the toothpick comes out clean.

7. Let rest for 10-15 mins, then cut into pieces however big (or small) you want.

When I was synthesizing this recipe (yeah that's my science background talking aha) I had originally made it with too much oil, BUT I DID ADJUST THE ABOVE RECIPE SO DON'T WORRY I WON'T CLOG YOUR ARTERIES too much so while it was baking I had to take it out and soak up the oil that was coming off the tops. It looked kinda gross but after doing that a few times it looked alright. A telltale sign is that your batter looks too oily and while folding it's very slippery, which my genius brain *IGNORED* but you could try adding a bit more flour and combining well to soak up that extra oil and make it less gross if that somehow happens to you. They did make some pretty shiny bois tho :) except for that one in that picture, I cut a couple in half cuz they got too tall since I didn't bother evening out the batter. Yeah idk what I was thinking but the brownies turned out very good tho :)
