# Ingredients:
01 -
5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter
02 -
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
03 -
1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
04 -
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, cold
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
1/3 cup (74 grams) vegetable oil
07 -
3/4 cup (75 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder
08 -
1/2 cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour
09 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 -
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
11 -
3/4 cup (128 grams) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
12 -
1 cup (170 grams) toffee bits, divided
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch metal pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
02 -
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter is melted. Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, then let cool to just warm.
03 -
Whisk in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds. Whisk in the vegetable oil and cocoa powder until smooth.
04 -
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and sea salt until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and toffee bits, reserving a handful of each.
05 -
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved toffee bits and chocolate chips.
06 -
Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a cake tester inserted into the center has moist crumbs attached. For less fudgy brownies, bake an additional 5-7 minutes, or until only melted chocolate attaches to the tester.
07 -
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or up to 5 days in the fridge.
# Notes:
01 -
For a smoother, richer flavor, Dutch-process cocoa powder is recommended, though natural cocoa powder can be used instead.
02 -
Use dark or bittersweet chocolate chips to balance sweetness if desired.
03 -
Store-bought toffee bits are convenient, but homemade toffee bits can also be used.
04 -
Serve brownies chilled for a fudgier texture.
