Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; for a dairy-free option, substitute with vegan butter or coconut oil.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and helps retain moisture; no direct substitute recommended.
  • 2 large Eggs Adds structure and moisture;
  • 1 large Egg Yolk (cold) Enhances the chewy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile; opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
  • 1/4 cup Neutral Oil Contributes moisture and fudginess; melted coconut oil can serve as a replacement.
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder Deepens the chocolate flavor and contributes to a fudgy texture.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; ensure correct measurement for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Creates the chewy texture akin to boxed brownies.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Enhances the flavors; avoid coarse salts.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Best Ever Chewy Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C), ensuring even baking.
  2. Line an 8x8-inch light-colored metal baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal later.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and granulated sugar in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute until just melted. Stir to combine.
  4. Whisk in the eggs and cold egg yolk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and neutral oil, followed by the Dutch-processed cocoa powder, mixing thoroughly.
  6. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and fine sea salt until just combined.
  7. Incorporate the semisweet chocolate chips, folding them until evenly distributed.
  8. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes until the edges are set and the center appears gooey.
  9. Check for doneness by inserting a cake tester into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  10. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting them out and cooling completely on a wire rack.
