Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup butter
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • flakey sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease the dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until melted and hot. Pour the butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl and whisk well for about one minute. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk for another minute until lighter in color.
  • Add the flour, cocoa, salt and espresso powder to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Use a sturdy spoon to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with crumbs and not wet batter. If you want a gooey brownie, bake for 25 minutes. For a more set brownie (like you see the pictures), bake for 30 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan. If you used parchment paper, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out to slice. If not, slice in the pan and enjoy!
