Step‑By‑Step Instructions for Best Fudge Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and espresso powder.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the butter and oil with 1/3 cup of sugar over medium heat until smooth and melted.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, and remaining sugar until combined and slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually whisk the warm butter-sugar mixture into the egg mixture.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and then fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and level the top.
  8. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, until the edges are firm and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
