Olive Oil and Cocoa Brownies

all-purpose flour

cocoa powder

salt

eggs

sugar

extra virgin olive oil

vanilla extract

cacao nibs (optional)

Heat oven to 325 degrees with a rack positioned in the center.

Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with olive oil. Cut a piece of parchment to fit just the bottom of the dish and oil that too.

Sift the flour, cocoa and salt into a bowl ( a mesh strainer is perfect for this job).

Beat the eggs in the bowl of a heavy duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed for a minute. Increase speed to medium-high while adding the sugar 1/2 cup at at time. Beat until the eggs are pale, thick and creamy.

Decrease mixer speed and slowly add the oil in a thin stream, as if you were making an emulsion like mayonnaise. Add the vanilla extract.

Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture in 3 or 4 additions until just incorporated, scraping down the bowl as needed.

Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the cacao nibs over the top, if using.

Bake 30- 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies emerges with some moist crumbs.

Cool the pan completely on a rack before cutting into serving pieces.

(3/4 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar

(1/2 cup) chocolate chips*

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line an 8-inch square baking tin with baking or parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, vanilla and sugars and mix briefly.

In a separate bowl, add eggs and whisk with a fork for approximately 30 seconds or until combined.

Add eggs to sugar mixture, along with cocoa powder, flour and chocolate chips. Gently mix with a spoon or spatula to combine. Pour into prepared tin.

Bake for approximately 28-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly before removing from pan. They will firm up as they cool. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
