eggless brownies
By foodiva
I like brownies no matter what texture or form they come in
- Ingredients:
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 30 minutes
- Makes ~12 squares
- Recipe adapted from: Food for 7 Stages of Life
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour or maida
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder (I use and love Valrhona)
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp of powdered sugar (measure after powdering)
- 1 tsp of baking soda (soda bi carb)
- A pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup of oil (I used vegetable oil)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 tsp of vinegar
- 1/2 tsp of instant coffee powder
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- A fistful of walnuts, chopped
- To Make the Brownies:
- Pre-heat oven to 350F / 180C. How to pre-heat an oven.
- Mix the milk at room temperature with the vinegar and set aside (Side-note: if a recipe calls for buttermilk and you don't have any in hand, this milk + vinegar mixture acts as a great substitute for buttermilk)
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, soda, cocoa powder, coffee powder, and salt. Mix the powdered sugar with this and stir well to combine
- Mix the oil and vanilla to the milk + vinegar mixture that's been set aside
- Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold to combine until there are no more streaks of flour left
- Transfer the batter to a greased 8X8 pan and add chopped walnuts on top
- Bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the brownie comes out with crumbs
- Let the baked brownies sit in the pan and cool completely before you cut into squares
- Keeps well for up to 2 days outside or 4 days refrigerated
- Notes:
- You can add chocolate chips, caramel chips, chocolate chunks, other nuts, pretty much anything you prefer to change up the flavour of the brownies
- Adding a layer of chocolate ganache would really fancy up the brownies
- You can replace the oil with melted butter
- You can replace the milk+vinegar mixture with buttermilk
