Ingredients

For the Mix

1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 28 grams
½ cup All Purpose Flour 68 grams
¾ teaspoon espresso powder 2 grams, optional
¼ teaspoon Baking Powder 1 gram
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 170 grams, optional

To Make the Brownies

½ cup vegetable oil 100 grams
2 large eggs 100 grams, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams

Instructions

For the Mix

In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, optional espresso powder, baking powder, and salt together.
1 cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup All Purpose Flour, ¾ teaspoon espresso powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Add in the chocolate chips, if using, and stir.
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Transfer the mixture to a jar or Ziplock bag and store until ready to use.

To Make the Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with a parchment paper sling.
In a large bowl, whisk the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together.
½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add in the brownie mix and whisk until just combined.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until desired doneness is achieved. Bake less for gooey brownies and longer for cakier brownies.
Let cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan and placing them on a wire rack to cool for another 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
