Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon fine Himalayan pink salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• ½ cup olive oil or any neutral baking oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup strong brewed coffee or water

Mix-Ins and Toppings:

• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
• Flaky Himalayan pink salt for topping

Ingredient Notes:

Himalayan Pink Salt:

• Use fine pink salt in the batter and flaked pink salt on top. The fine salt blends well while the flakes create texture and flavor bursts on the surface.

Olive Oil:

• Gives moisture and richness without using butter. Choose light olive oil if you want a neutral taste.

Coffee:

• Adds depth and boosts the chocolate flavor without making the brownies taste like coffee. You can use water if preferred.

Dark Chocolate:

• Use at least 60 percent cacao for that bold fudgy finish. Semi-sweet also works but will taste slightly sweeter.
• These ingredients work together to make brownies that are rich balanced, and packed with flavor. The pink salt is not just sprinkled on top. It’s built into every bite.
