Ingredients
For Brownie:
1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1–1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp. salt (table, Kosher or sea)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips*
For Frosting:
6 tbsp. salted butter, at room temperature
6 tbsp. cocoa powder, sifted
2 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
6 tbsp. whole milk**
Instructions
To Make Brownies:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 X 9-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, cocoa, granulated sugar and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add eggs, oil, water, and vanilla. Stir everything together until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips until evenly combined. Be careful to not over mix. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a slight crumb. Do not over bake. Remove pan from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
To Make Frosting:
In a large bowl, using a standing or hand-held mixer, combine all ingredients except for milk. Turn mixer on to low and stir ingredients until a shaggy mixture is formed (about 45 seconds). To start, add 4 tablespoons milk to sugar mixture. Add milk in 1 tbsp. increments or until desired consistency is reached. Frosting should be easy to spread, with a consistency of toothpaste. Spread and/or pipe onto cooled brownies.
Notes
*Try substituting milk or dark chocolate chips too. If you’re feeling funky, use other flavored chips like espresso or peanut butter, or jammy fruit bits.
**Use 1 more or 1 less tbsp. milk to reach your desired piping or spreadable consistency, depending on your kitchen temperature and weather.
