Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Consider using monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder Opt for Dutch-processed cocoa for a smoother flavor.
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Use high-quality virgin oil for enhanced taste.
  • 2 large eggs Can be substituted with flaxseed meal for a vegan option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the vanilla extract, vinegar, and red food coloring, stirring until well combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mix, combining gently to avoid overmixing.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream before serving. Ideal to pair with milk or coffee.
