Brownies from Scratch

I never buy brownie mixes anymore...these are just SO good and come together so easily with things I always have in the pantry anyway!


Ingredients:

• 1/2 c vegetable oil
• 1 c white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 c all-purpose flour
• 1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a 9x9in baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.  In another bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, and vanilla.  Beat in eggs.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
• Bake 20-25 minutes, or until brownie begins to pull away from edges of pan.  Cool on wire rack.
• I like to top it with Chocolate Chip Frosting.
