      1. Preheat the oven to 325Ā°F.

      2. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt.

      3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, butter, water, and vanilla.
      4. Combine the wet mix with the dry mix, stirring gently until combined.

      5. Note: batter should be thick. If needed, you can thin the batter out with 1-2 tbsp hot water.

      6. Pour 340 grams of the batter into each pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

      7. Once brownies have cooled, use a plastic knife to cut into six equal portions.

      8. Note: a plastic knife is excellent for cutting brownies.
