Recipe Notes
For extra chocolaty brownies replace 1/4 cup of the flour with the same amount of cocoa powder (you’ll have 1/2 cup cocoa powder in total).
If you find the taste of olive oil overpowering or you have an olive oil with a strong taste, you can use half olive oil and half another vegetable oil.
