CHOCOLATE BROWNIES ILLUSTRATED ON FRONT OF BOX

• Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Prepare the pan, see illustrated instructions below.
• Beat eggs, melted butter and oil together for 30 seconds on high speed until well blended.

• Add dry mixture and chocolate chips, fold in carefully with a spatula. Blend until just combined, do not beat, folding by hand gives the best result.
