  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture is pale and smooth to ensure a crinkly top.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, folding gently until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, then allow to cool in the pan for 55 minutes to set properly before slicing.
