Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, add the bittersweet chocolate and olive oil.

Place over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir often until fully melted.

Remove the chocolate oil mixture from the double boiler and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla.

Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture has doubled in size.*

Scrape down the bowl to make sure everything is properly combined.

While mixing on low speed, slowly pour in the chocolate oil mixture.

Once it is fully combined, add the flour, cocoa powders, and salt, and fold until mostly combined.

Lastly, fold in the chopped chocolate until evenly dispersed

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with an offset spatula.

Bake the brownies for about 35 minutes.

Allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Cut into 16 squares, top with flaky sea salt, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🫘
Whisk both cocoa powders with hot water before adding to the batter to intensify their flavor and eliminate any grittiness for a smoother, more decadent texture.
Choose Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil 🫒
Use a robust, fruity extra virgin olive oil (avoid light or mild varieties) to ensure the oil's flavor complements rather than overwhelms the bittersweet chocolate.
Don't Overmix After Adding Flour ✨
Fold in the flour gently with just 10-15 strokes after combining wet ingredients to prevent gluten development, which keeps brownies fudgy rather than cake-like.
Test with a Toothpick, Not a Knife 🧁
Insert a toothpick into the center—it should have a few moist crumbs clinging to it, not come out clean, ensuring maximum fudginess while still being fully baked.
Let Brownies Cool Completely Before Cutting 🕐
Wait at least 4 hours or chill overnight before slicing to allow the olive oil crumb structure to set properly, resulting in clean edges and perfect fudgy texture.
