Olive oil brownies that are both fudge and light (yes, that's possible!)
Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup milk light extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 cups AP flour
  • 0.3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 5 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4-5 speculoos cookies, crumbled or 5 tablespoons raspberry jam or 5 tablespoons nut butter (or all three!)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt the chocolate chips in the olive oil, stirring constantly. Take off of heat and cool slightly.
  4. Gradually but rather vigorously stir in the sugar and eggs into the melted chocolate. Make sure the eggs do not cook!
  5. Whisk in remaining dry ingredients.
  6. Pour batter into an oiled and lined baking pan. Top with crumbled speculoos or extra chocolate chips. If you are stirring in jam or nut butter, swirl that in evenly into the batter before baking.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes.
