Ingredients

• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Vegetable or canola oil
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup Chocolate chunks

Equipment

• 9×5 or 8×5 baking pan
• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk or mixing spoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Line a 9×5 or 8×5 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.

3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined.

4. Add the egg and vanilla to the sugar-butter mixture. Whisk until well combined.

5. Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until the flour mixture is fully incorporated.

6. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it to cover the entire loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

8. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. It should come out with just a few wet crumbs when they are ready.

9. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into them. Once cooled, enjoy!

Tami’s notes

Depending on your preference for thicker or thinner brownies, you can use either a 9×5 or an 8×5 baking pan. Adjust the baking time accordingly.

Feel free to customize the brownies by adding nuts, swirls of caramel, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for additional flavor and texture.
