Olive Oil Brownies With Sea Salt Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and olive oil until smooth.

4. Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and olive oil mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.

8. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top of the batter, ensuring a light, even distribution.

9. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.

10. Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

11. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut them into squares of your desired size, and serve.
