This homemade brownie recipe hits the spot when you're craving something decadent and chocolate. Such a simple recipe. #TexasHomesteader
In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup oil, 4 Tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Then beat in 2 large eggs.
In a separate bowl combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt and stir until fully combined.
Gradually stir flour mixture into the egg mixture just until blended. Stir in optional ½ cup chopped nuts if desired.
Spread the batter evenly into a greased 8x8 inch pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the brownie begins to pull away from edges of the pan.
Let pan of brownies cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares, as brownies will be very soft while hot. You can serve directly from the baking dish. Delicious!
