Yum! Yum! Yum!

My Kids and Vj are typical chocolate lovers at home and they fall for Brownies anytime. I have started making brownies with Store Bought Mix at home initially, and then moved to next step by buying in Bulk from Costco ( Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix is the best) and keeping it handy in the pantry and making it whenever I have 10 min. These days I am even moving another step ahead and started collecting Brownie Recipes and detrmined to make variety of Brownies from Scratch at home. In that attempt I have come across this wonderful recipe from Nag's Space and I simply followed her recipe, At first I was so skeptical with out egg how can i get that spongy and soft texture in brownies, but looks like the Vinegar did the trick to get the real texture in this recipe. I have literally crossed my fingers while the brownies are getting baked, Voila, at the end I got stunned with the end result! What do you  think? Here is the recipe, Njoy!



Ingredients:

Recipe Source: Edible Garden

All Purpose Flour - 1 cup
Ccoa Powder - 1/2 cup ( I used Hershey's Brand)
salt - a pinch ( or 1/8 tsp)
Baking Soda - 1 tsp
Instant Coffee Powder - 1 tsp
Powdered Sugar - 1 cup
Oil - 1/3 cup
Milk - 1 Cup
Vinegar - 1 tsp
Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
Walnuts - 10 ( chopped roughly)

Preparatory Steps:

• Pre Heat Ovent o 350 F or 180 C.
• Mix Milk and Vinegar and set aside at room temperature.
• Coat the Baking Pan with butter or olive oil or pam spray, run it on all corners and sides, and set aside.

Method:

1. In a medium bowl, swift together APF, Cocoa Powder, salt, Baking Soda, Coffee Powder. To this add powdered sugar and mix well until combined.
2. In separate bowl, add Oil, Milk + Vinegar Mixture and Vanilla Extract and Whisk it together until everything is well combined.
3. Now add dry flour mix to wet ingredient mix and fold it gently ( up and down) until no streak of flour left and everything is well combined. 
4. Transfer this mixture into erased baking pan ( 8 x 8), add roughly chopped Walnuts on top.
5. Bake in the pre-heat oven for 25 to 30 min.  ( until Toothpick or skewer comes out clean).
6. Once it is done, take it out and let it cool in the pan for 5 to 10 min,  cut the brownie into squares and store in the air-tight container.

These brownies store good for up to 2 -3 days outside or a week in the fridge. ( believe me you don't need to go that far, they will be done in 2 days :-))

Tips:

• If you don't have vinegar handy you can replace 1 Cup Milk + 1 tsp Vinegar with 1 Cup Buttermilk.  (1 cup Milk + 1 tsp Vinegar = 1 cup Buttermilk = 2 Eggs), you can use this equation vice versa in any eggless recipe to replace 1 to 2 eggs.
• When you are serving you can dust some powdered sugar on top of these brownies to give some fancy effect. 

Look at their cracks and texture! So soft and Spongy!
