Delicious Gooey Brownies

Do you ever eat something and keep going back for more?  Well these brownies are what you are reaching for.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of them after I had cut them but this is what they looked like after I took them out of the oven.

The first time I made these I took them to school with me.  I gave them to my friends and ever since they have been hooked on them.  I make them about once a month and able to give away a couple of brownies per friend.

They taste better the day after you make them and they can last up to 5 days in an airtight container.

The past few times I have made these brownies I have used relatively cheap canola oil.  DON'T use cheap oil.  The oil made the brownies taste pretty bad.  I had to cover up the taste of the oil by adding more sugar, vanilla, and coco powder.  I have learned my lesson now.  My advice; go for organic unflavored oil such as canola or vegetable oil.

Mix the oil and sugar together

Add all the eggs and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the dry ingredients.  I sifted the ingredients but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Combine all ingredients.  This is what the batter should look like.  

NOTE:  Sometimes I have to add milk or a little more oil in so the batter isn't too thick.

1 cup flour                                                  
1/2 teaspoon salt                                            
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup coco powder
1 cup unflavored oil
4 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a 2 x 9 x 13 inch pan.

Mix oil and sugar together.  Add eggs and vanilla extract.  Stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, mix the rest of the dry ingredients.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix to combine.

Pour into greased pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.  NOTE:  If you don't like your brownies gooey add another 5-10 minutes or put a toothpick in and see if it comes out clean.

Let cool for 30 minutes before cutting into it.  Add desired garnishing or leave plain.

Makes about 24 3x3 inch brownies.
