Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (70 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (80 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) Morocco Gold extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (125 g) cacao nibs, optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees with a rack positioned in the center.
- Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with olive oil. Cut a piece of parchment to fit just the bottom of the dish and oil that too.
- Sift the flour, cocoa and salt into a bowl ( a mesh strainer is perfect for this job).
- Beat the eggs in the bowl of a heavy duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed for a minute. Increase speed to medium-high while adding the sugar 1/2 cup at at time. Beat until the eggs are pale, thick and creamy.
- Decrease mixer speed and slowly add the oil in a thin stream, as if you were making an emulsion like mayonnaise. Add the vanilla extract.
- Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture in 3 or 4 additions until just incorporated, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the cacao nibs over the top, if using.
- Bake 30- 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies emerges with some moist crumbs.
- Cool the pan completely on a rack before cutting into serving pieces.
