  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or essence

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine oil and sugar. Use a mixer, electric beater, or hand whisk to mix them well until creamy.
  2. Add the eggs to the bowl and mix for 2 to 3 minutes until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix them together using a spoon or a whisk.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and combine them until you have a thick, gooey batter.
  5. Grease a square pan with oil or butter. Spread the batter evenly in the pan using a spatula.
  6. Spread the walnuts on top of the brownie mixture and lightly press them into the batter.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
  8. Bake the brownies for 10 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out slightly wet.

Tips and Variations

💡
You can customize these brownies by replacing walnuts with nuts of your choice or baking them without nuts altogether for a nut-free option.
💡
For an extra fudgy texture, remove them from the oven when the centre is still slightly wet and moist.
💡
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the brownies before baking to enhance the rich chocolate flavour.
💡
Serve the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
💡
Drizzle melted chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar over the cooled brownies for a decorative touch before serving.
💡
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares for cleaner slices.
