Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (180 grams) dark chocolate chips
  • 5 tablespoons (70 g) butter
  • ⅓ cup (79 ml) canola oil
  • 2 eggs, plus one egg yolk room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (9.86 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • ¾ cup (98 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (90 grams) milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate, butter, and oil in a double boiler. Set aside to cool completely. (Using warm chocolate will make your brownies dry and heavy.)
    1 cup dark chocolate chips, 5 tablespoons butter, ⅓ cup canola oil
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar for at least 3 minutes. Add vanilla, and salt and beat well.
    2 eggs, plus one egg yolk, 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Add cooled chocolate mixture into eggs and sugar and stir by hand. (Do not use an electric mixer for this step.)
  • Before it is completely mixed in and uniform in color, add flour and stir a few times by hand.
    ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • Before flour is completely mixed in, add in milk chocolate chips and slowly stir.
    ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • Pour into 9x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-28 minutes. Cool.

Notes

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
To freeze, wrap the brownies individually with plastic wrap, then transfer to a freezer bag or wrap with aluminum foil. Place them in the freezer for up to 3 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
