The Best Brownies

Juenessa's Note:

These brownies are not cake-like. They are more moist and gooey. I always undercook them a bit because we like them very moist.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup flour

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Mix oil and sugar until well blended.
3. Add eggs and vanilla; stir just until blended.
4. Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
5. Stir dry ingredients into the oil/sugar mixture.
6. Pour into greased 9 x 9 square pan.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until sides just start to pull away from the pan.
8. Cool completely before cutting.
9. Note: I usually double the recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan. If you double the recipe, you will need to cook longer than 20 minutes.

These really might be the best brownies! They are really good and the perfect mixture between cake and cookie. Just one thing: I knew when measuring that half a cup is way too much oil. I used one fourth cup and they came out fine. And of course, you can substitute actual melted chocolate for the cocoa powder.

I followed the recipe except didn't have vanilla extract. Came out great! Gooey & a shiney flaky top. Those who said it was cake like changed the recipe. They are not cake like at all. Just don't over cook! I doubled and baked at 350 the for 30 minutes. So easy my 3 year old mixed everything after I measured it for her. So even without vanilla, they are great. I know the oil seems like a lot, but its needed. They are brownies after all, not supposed to be good for you.

Excellent brownies, I cooked them for my nieces 15th birthday, everyone loved them.
I replaced the oil with butter, and doubled the recipe. Thanks Juanessa.
