Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownies.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure a uniform dry mixture.
- Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly to distribute their delicious pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownies.
- Prepare baking pan: Grease a baking pan and pour the batter evenly into it.
- Top with sea salt: Sprinkle the teaspoon of sea salt evenly over the batter’s surface for a sweet and salty finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into 24 servings and enjoying.
