RECIPE MAGIC!

We're thinking it's time to bring out the sweet bakes, the ones that are easy to make and bring out the cozy in everyone. Believe it or not, extra virgin olive oil makes for a double whammy of goodness. Switch from butter to extra virgin olive oil and you've added a "healthier" fat. And no need to melt the butter! Our brownie recipe is soft, extra fudgy and delivers that shiny crackly crust. Adding a sprinkle of our handcrafted sea salt elevates them to gourmet bakery status! For any baking recipe, use a milder, fruitier oil from our collection. 

INGREDIENTS:

10 oz dark chocolate (1-3/4 cups broken and ground)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour

DIRECTIONS:

    Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl add eggs and sugar. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and creamy. You can use a stand or electric mixture to do this. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, then add to egg/mixture followed immediately by olive oil. Blend with a rubber spatula. Gently sprinkle flour a little at a time folding into mixture until combined. Line a medium round or square baking pan with parchment paper and pour mixture making an even layer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until a crust is developed while brownies are still a tiny bit wobbly. Remove from oven and rest. If you bake for too long, your brownies will be dry.
