This homemade brownies recipe is a simple and delicious way to enjoy rich, fudgy chocolate brownies with basic pantry ingredients. Made with cocoa powder, cane sugar, and olive oil, these brownies offer a moist texture and deep chocolate flavor, perfect for an easy dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and then line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together cane sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt to combine and eliminate any lumps, ensuring a smooth batter.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, vanilla extract, and water until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Use a folding technique to gently combine all ingredients until you have a smooth, consistent batter without overmixing.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This helps set their texture before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
  • For an extra chocolatey twist, you can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter before baking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make removal easier.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
