Brownies

¾ cup cocoa

½ teaspoon baking powder

2/3 cup oil (divided 1/3 + 1/3)

½ cup boiling water

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 1/3 cup flour*

1 teaspoon vanilla

¼ teaspoon salt

Stir cocoa and baking soda in a mixing bowl, add 1/3 cup of the oil and boiling water. Stir until thickened. Add sugar, the additional 1/3 cup oil and eggs, stir until smooth. Add vanilla, salt and flour, stir until combined. Pour into 13” x 9” pan sprayed with cooking oil, bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes.

*When I make these with garbanzo bean flour (1 1/3 cup), people eat them up, so I don’t tell them they are wheat and dairy free!
