Guilt-Free Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup oil (don't use an extra virgin olive oil, your brownies will taste a bit like olives. I typically use peanut oil)
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup freshly milled soft white wheat flour (mill about 1/2 cup of soft white wheat berries for 1 cup of flour)
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together and stir together with a whisk. Make sure there are no lumps and everything is combined.
- Add oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat with whisk or mixer until completely smooth.
- Pour batter in greased 9x13 pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 14-17 minutes.
- Check to make sure brownies are just starting to pull away from the side. Poke a toothpick in the middle of brownies. If it comes out clean, brownies are done.
- Let brownies cool completely on a cooling rack. I know it's hard to wait. But this is what helps the brownies to set and not fall apart or be under-cooked!
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
When I want thicker brownies, I bake in a 8x8 baking dish at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes until it's pulling away from sides and toothpick comes out clean.
