Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Use 1 extra yolk for ultimate chewiness; flaxseed meal can be a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Can be omitted for simplicity.
  • 1/2 cup Neutral Oil (Vegetable or Avocado) Melted coconut oil works too.
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder Avoid natural cocoa if using baking soda.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can swap with gluten-free flour at a 1:1 ratio.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Don't skip this step for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt Table salt can be used at the same ratio.
For Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips Fold in for extra melty goodness.
  • 1 cup Nuts (Walnuts or Pecans) Add for a delightful crunch.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter or Cream Cheese Mix in for a flavored twist.

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8x8-inch metal pan with foil or parchment paper.
