Olive Oil Brownies With Sea Salt

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees, and grease an 8-by-8-inch square baking dish with some of the olive oil. Line pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides so you can pull the brownies out easily.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Whisk in 6 tablespoons oil, melted chocolate, egg and vanilla.

Step 4

Whisk in brown and granulated sugars, then fold in flour mixture, then chocolate chips. Scrape into prepared pan, and bake until set and firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 5

Immediately sprinkle brownies with flaky salt while still warm, and let cool. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
