Brownie : No butter No chocolate

Chocolate Brownie

Is it a cookie? No.. Is it a cake? No... Its a cross of both... The texture is like a chewy chewy cookie and the look is that of a flat cake.. This recipe is slightly different from the normal ones as it uses vegetable oil instead of butter and uses cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate. This makes this recipe a far easier one as there is no melting of butter and chocolate. Just sieve the dry ingredients and blend the wet ingredients and mix both and ta-da its ready to go into the oven!

3. Mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla extract with a hand blender in medium to high speed
4. Add eggs one by one and mix after each addition until well combined.
5. Add the dry ingredients in two batches to the mixed wet ingredients
