Ultimate Chocolate Espresso Brownies

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish using butter or non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper, ensuring enough overhang to lift the brownies out later.

2. Melt Butter and Combine with Oil
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.

3. Mix Sugars and Cocoa
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until fully blended.
- Add the melted butter mixture to the bowl, stirring until smooth.

4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is glossy.
- Stir in vanilla extract and espresso powder.

5. Sift and Add Dry Ingredients
- Sift together salt and all-purpose flour, then gradually fold this mixture into the batter until just combined.

6. Add Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

7. Pour and Level Batter
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Use a spatula to level the top for even baking.

8. Bake to Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9. Cool and Serve
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
- Cut into squares and serve.
