Recipe Notes:
You could add in nuts such as pecans or walnuts. Either in the batter or on top of the batter in the pan.
You could add in 100 gr of melted semi sweet chocolate or 70% chocolate in the batter.
You could add 100 gr of chopped milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate on top of the batter in the pan.
You can also use different types of baking pans. Smaller pans make thicker brownies that need longer baking.
33×22 cm = 15-20 minutes. (I baked mine for 17 minutes) I tried this recipe in a few different pans and this size was my favorite because I prefer thinner brownies rather than thicker.
20×20 cm = 35-40 minutes. This pan size is perfect if you want thicker brownies. It‘s also perfect to add 100 gr of chopped chocolate on top of the batter.
17×27 cm = 35-40 minutes. This pan size is also ideal for thicker brownies and adding 100 gr of chopped chocolate on top of the batter.

Ingredients
- 225 gr butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 200 gr caster or granulated sugar
- 200 gr brown sugar
- 4 eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 125 gr all purpose flour
- 100 gr dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 175 °C and line a 33×22 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in the microwave then pour into a large bowl and let cool down for a few minutes.
- Whisk in the oil, sugar and brown sugar.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk for 60 seconds until well combined.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder.
- Carefully fold everything together until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Check with a toothpick after 15 minutes, if the brownies are still wet they need more time but if only a few crumbs come back with the toothpick the are ready. You don‘t want the toothpick to come out completely clean. Brownies should be moist. I baked mine for exactly 17 minutes but that depends on the oven.
