Fudgy and Dense Cocoa Powder Brownies
These fudgy and dense cocoa powder brownies are obnoxiously decadent and delicious. They are super easy to make without melted chocolate.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8 X 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the cocoa powder and oil until combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Combine the egg mixture with the cocoa mixture until smooth.
- Add the flour and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the chocolate chips and fold to combine.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes. When done, the top will be dry to the touch but a toothpick inserted into the center should still have a few moist crumbs clingy to it.
- Cool the brownies on a wire rack.
