Equipment

slice tin (27 x 17 cm)

Ingredients

¾ cup plain flour / all purpose flour (¾ cup = 110 grams)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (1 tablespoon = 20 grams)
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
125 grams butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
100 grams chocolate (milk or dark, your choice)
1 cup caster sugar (1 cup = 220 grams)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup choc chips (½ cup = 80 grams) (milk or dark, your choice)
⅔ salted macadamia nuts, chopped (⅔ cup = 80 grams)

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius/355 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).
Grease the slice tin and line with baking paper, leaving excess on the sides to lift out slice once cooked.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Place butter, chocolate (not the choc chips), and oil into a saucepan. Stir with a whisk over low-med heat until combined and smooth. Don't allow to boil.
Allow mixture to cool for 10 minutes and then add to the mixing bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
Add sugar, eggs and vanilla extract and stir again until combined.
Add choc chips and macadamia nuts and stir until distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour mixture into slice tin and bake for 25-30 minutes (or until the edges appear firm and are slightly pulling away from the tin and the top is matte and a little crackly looking).
Let cool in tin. Remove slice from the tin using overhanging paper. Cut into 15 squares.

Notes

Storing: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (room temperature or fridge).

Freezing: You can freeze brownies for up to 3 months. Wrap in plastic wrap well before freezing and allow to thaw out in the fridge overnight when you're ready to enjoy.
