Olive Oil Brownies

"I love baking with olive oil because of the rich flavor it imparts. I used Fresh Press Farms olive oil for these brownies and I am obsessed with how they came out. Fresh Press farms grows their olives in Georgia and all of their olive oil is cold pressed. You can taste the difference!"

• Pour batter into an 8 inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper.
