Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Next, prepare the ingredients. Then, line a 9-inch. square baking dish (or equivalent) with parchment paper and allow the ends to hang out on the sides. Set the dish aside. Coating the parchment paper with the oil on both sides helps it stick to the pan or baking dish. See the video in the recipe card.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt (I used kosher salt). Set aside.
In a medium heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, espresso powder, oil, and water. Bring to a boil and stir constantly. Once the ingredients are dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat; add the 1 ¾ cups chocolate chips and stir until melted and cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the room temperature eggs until foamy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and gradually whisk the chocolate mixture.
Next, fold in the all-purpose flour mixture.
Pour the chocolate fudge brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly but not patting it down. Add a few more drops of chocolate chips on top.
Bake on a lower rack for 45 minutes or until the toothpick, when inserted in the center, comes out moist and with small visible crumbs. Be sure not to overbake. Cool completely in the pan.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting. Remove the brownies from the pan or baking dish by lifting the parchment paper and cut them into squares. Place in a bowl and serve with your favorite ice cream and raspberries.
