Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. This ensures an even, lump-free mix.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Mix it up: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely dry).
- Cool and cut: Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Clean your knife between cuts for neat edges.
Tips & Variations
- For extra richness, use melted butter instead of oil.
- Add chocolate chips or nuts for texture.
- To make them extra fudgy, slightly underbake and chill before cutting.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle melted chocolate for a fancy finish.
Storage
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
