Ingredients
  

  • 115g/4oz semi sweet or dark chocolate
  • 7 tbsp (98g) unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp (44g) canola oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup (80g) all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp ground espresso (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp (10g) sprinkles

Frosting

  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp (21g) cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 -2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (105g) icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp (20g) sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Line or spray an 8x8 pan. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate, butter and oil. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted, stirring in between each time. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • While the chocolate mixture warms, add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Using the whisk attachment, whisk at medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until the batter is pale and ribbony.
  • Gently whisk in the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Then add in the flour, cocoa powder, espresso if using and salt. Using a spatula, gently fold together until almost combined.
  • Pour the batter into your lined pan and sprinkle the 1 tbsp sprinkles on top. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted about 2/3 of the way to the centre comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake!
  • Let fully cool before slicing and serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
  • While the brownies cool, make your frosting by adding the butter, cocoa, 1 1/2 tbsp milk and vanilla into a medium sized bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat at medium speed for 1 minute. Then add in the icing sugar and beat for an additional minute. If frosting is too thick, add another 1/2 tbsp of milk to thin it out.
  • Once the brownies are fully cooled, spread your frosting on top and sprinkle the remaining 2 tbsp sprinkles on top and enjoy!
