The best brownie recipe I've ever had that is also one of the easiest! Thick, chewy, fudgy and rich make these sweet (and a little salty) brownies a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Ounces Butter, melted and browned
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 TSP Olive Oil
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tsp Smoked Sea Salt (Plus more for sprinkling)
  • 2/3 Cup Semi-Sweet Belgian Chocolate Chunks (I get these at Aldi)
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9-inch square pan or line with parchment paper.
    Brown the butter and place to the side to cool.
  • Combine the butter, sugar and olive oil in stand mixer for one minute.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, mix for 30 seconds. Add flour, cocoa and smoked sea salt and fully combine for 30 seconds.
  • Once combined, add chocolate chunks and pour into a parchment-lined pan or heavily baking-sprayed pan.
  • Top brownie dough with any extra chocolate chunks and a generous (to taste) sprinkle of smoked sea salt flakes.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes and allow to cool. If using parchment paper pull out of pan after cooling and peel away the paper to cut.
    Brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs still clinging. If you see wet batter, keep baking.
