Ingredients

- ½ cup dark chocolate chips

- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, sifted cocoa powder, sifted powdered sugar, dark chocolate chips, and sea salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs, extra-virgin olive oil, water, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the brownies remain tender.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
