  • 1/2 cup+2 tbsp (145 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (cooking oil)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 &1/4 cup(250 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (total weight without shell=155g)
  • 50 g milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coffee powder dissolved in 1 tbsp warm milk

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease an 9x9-inch baking pan with butter, line with parchment paper leaving overhang on all sides, grease the parchment paper with butter, set aside.
  2. Cut unsalted butter into small cubes and put into a heat safe bowl, roughly chop dark chocolate and add into the bowl.Add cooking oil.
  3. Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then place the bowl over the saucepan, make sure bowl does not touch the water. Let butter and chocolate melt over a low heat, stirring occasionally to mix them until well combined, remove the bowl from the pan, set aside to cool down to the room temperature.
  4. Take a large bowl, add eggs, salt, sugar and vanilla extract, beat them at medium speed until it looks like a thick batter (about 9-10 minutes)
  5. With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled butter and chocolate mixer and blend until smooth.
  6. Add in the coffee mixture.
  7. Sift in the all purpose flour and cocoa powder and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven at 160*C/320*F (fan oven) for 25-30 minutes or until  a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan, cool completely before slicing.
  12. You can store them at room temperature for 3days or keep in the fridge for up to a week.
