Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Mix:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins:
- 0.33 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup regular M&M’s
- 0.5 cup mini M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×9 inch baking pan by coating it with baking spray. Line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper, then lightly spray again to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until completely combined and no lumps remain.
- Using an electric mixer, beat both sugars, eggs, and extra egg yolk on high speed for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
- Incorporate melted butter, oil, and vanilla into the egg mixture on low speed. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture, mixing carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips and M&M’s into the batter using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle additional M&M’s on top for extra decoration. Bake for 35-40 minutes, looking for set edges and a slightly underdone center.
- Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. The brownies will continue to set as they cool, creating a fudgy texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure smooth, even mixing and better incorporation of ingredients into the batter.
- Sift cocoa powder and flour to prevent lumps and create a more uniform texture in your brownies.
- Try different M&M colors for seasonal or themed brownie variations that look festive and fun.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make these brownies accessible to more people.
