In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

Add 2/3 cup cocoa powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.

In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and add 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.

Fold in dark chocolate chips into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing.
