Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and granulated sugar and microwave for about 1 minute until the butter is melted.
  3. Vigorously whisk in the eggs and egg yolk until smooth. Then, add the vanilla extract and oil, followed by the cocoa powder, mixing well.
  4. Gently stir in the flour, cornstarch, and salt until just combined. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes until the top is shiny and edges are set.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
