Brownie recipe using oil

I need simple ingredients here in Ghana for baking occasional treats. Good quality chocolate is hard to find but there's a good local cocoa powder.

I used this simple browning recipe using oil instead of butter, which is quite expensive. It was easy and delicious!

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup flour

Directions

·      Preheat oven to 350°.

·      Mix oil and sugar until well blended.

·      Add eggs and vanilla; stir just until blended.

·      Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

·      Stir dry ingredients into the oil/sugar mixture.

·      Pour into greased 9 x 9 square pan.

·      Bake for 20 minutes or until sides just start to pull away from the pan.

·      Cool completely before cutting.

Note: I usually double the recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan. If you double the recipe, you will need to cook longer than 20 minutes.
