Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a square pan or line it with parchment paper.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients. 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup cocoa powder, ¼ tsp salt. Mix ingredients.
STEP 3: In a small separate bowl, add the wet ingredients.1 cup milk, ½ cup cooking oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix ingredients.
STEP 4: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Mix to form brownie batter.
STEP 5: Pour the batter into the greased pan - it will be sticky. Run a spatula under water, then use it to help spread the batter to the edges.

Recipe Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. This will make the brownies too chewy. Instead, mix the batter until it's just combined.
- For a different flavor, you can Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans straight to the batter. This will give the brownies a nice crunch.
- Experiment with milk, white, or even butterscotch chips.
- For a gluten-free version, try my nut butter oat brownies (which can also be made nut-free using sunflower butter).
How to store leftovers
- Refrigerate - Place in an airtight container or zip-top bag and store at room temperature or in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- Freeze - Place each brownie slice on a baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Once they're slightly frozen, you can pop them into a freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. The baking sheet method prevents them from sticking together.
