Fudgy brownies are one of my favorite indulgences. I love a warm gooey chocolate brownie fresh from the oven. There are several tricks for getting the perfect balance of fudge and gooey texture, but I’ve found the simplest way is to use coconut oil. These Fudgy Coconut Oil Brownies are an indulgent treat that will satisfy the chocolate-iest of sweet tooth cravings.
I start by adding some bittersweet chocolate and Crisco® Unrefined Organic Coconut Oil to a microwave safe bowl. The coconut oil is a great substitute for butter and other oils.
I’ve found Crisco® Refined Organic Coconut Oil to be the perfect secret ingredient since it doesn’t have the smell or taste of coconut; so it doesn’t alter the flavor of the chocolate in the brownies (unrefined still has the flavor and aroma of coconut). However, I happen to love the taste of coconut so I used unrefined for this recipe to add just a hint of coconut flavor.
In thirty second increments, I melt the chocolate and coconut oil until they’re completely combined.
I add in some white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and an egg yolk and combine everything together.
Then I add in some flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda and stir until just combined.
I transfer the dough to a baking dish lined with parchment paper and bake for about 35 minutes until the batter is cooked through.
Before cutting into the brownies, I let them cool completely and then stick them in the fridge for a bit. They’re incredibly gooey so this helps them cut cleanly into squares.
