Easy No Butter Brownie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on opposite sides for easy removal.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.

4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

5. Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

6. Serve these Easy No Butter Brownies on their own or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra special treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
