Fudgy One-Bowl Brownies


 

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups chocolate chips divided
  • 1/3 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13″ pan with nonstick cooking spray (I lined mine with foil first). Whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt. Stir in eggs and then oil until completely moistened. Stir in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.
