Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your brownie pan by lining it with tin foil and greasing it with Crisco, butter, or Pam spray.
  3. Melt the butter, chocolate, and olive oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat on the stove. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well blended.
  5. Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until smooth.
  6. Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Recipe Tips:

  • Variations: Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the batter for added texture and flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
