These Olive Oil Brownies with Sea Salt offer a rich, fudgy texture with the unique depth of mild extra-virgin olive oil and melting pockets of chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup/25 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 6 tablespoons/90 milliliters mild extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing pan
  • 1/4 cup/60 milliliters boiling water
  • 3 ounces/90 milliliters melted unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup/165 grams packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup/65 grams granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup/90 grams mini or regular chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, as needed

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-by-8-inch square baking dish with olive oil and line it with parchment paper, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on two sides for easy brownie removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, kosher salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the Dutch-processed cocoa powder with boiling water until smooth. Then whisk in the 6 tablespoons of olive oil, melted unsweetened chocolate, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the wet mixture. Gently fold in the flour mixture followed by the chocolate chips, making sure not to overmix. Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the brownies are set and firm to the touch but still moist inside.
  6. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle brownies with flaky sea salt while warm. Allow brownies to cool in the pan completely before using the parchment paper overhang to lift them out. Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
