Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips, milk or semisweet, divided
Toppings
- sprinkles, toffee bits, crushed Oreos, crushed candies, chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x11-inch baking dish, line it with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, oil, and both sugars and whisk well.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for another 2 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out until even. Top with remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips and any other desired toppings and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles.
- Let sit in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely before cutting.

Notes
- Cutting tip. Let the brownies cool a bit, but not all the way and use a plastic knife. It will cut through the brownies like butter.
- Store. Allow the brownies to cool before storing. Cover the pan, or place brownies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or 5-7 days in the fridge.
- To freeze, wrap them with plastic wrap, place them in a freezer bag, and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
