Equipment
- 1 9x9 non-stick square pan, (USA brand is what I used)
- 1 fine sieve
Ingredients
Brownie Mix:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup palm fruit shortening
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanillin , (see notes below)
Wet Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl sift together the dry ingredients (powdered sugar, flour, cocoa powder, vanillin, and salt).
- Whisk the brownie mix together and cut in the shortening. The mixture should look a little crumbly. You can store this dry brownie mix in an airtight bag for up to 3 months, otherwise proceed with the recipe.
- Add the wet ingredients (3 Tbsp water, 1/2 cup oil, and 2 eggs. Whisk together the brownie batter until you see no more dry mix (do not over-mix even if it looks lumpy).
- Pour the brownie batter into a non-stick 9x9 pan.
- Bake brownies in a preheated 350°F oven for 22 minutes. Cool before cutting. Makes 16 square bars.
Notes
- **Vanillin is a concentrated dry vanilla flavoring powder. You can substitute it with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If storing the dry brownie mix ahead of time add the wet vanilla extract to the wet ingredients when making.
- Double the batch to fit a 13x9 pan.
- Pro Cutting Tip: cut warm brownies with a plastic knife in short sawing motions. Plastic silverware is non-stick.
