Ingredients 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 and ¼ cups raw caster sugar
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • 1 cup small chocolate buttons chips
  • ⅔ cup water
  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp sunflower oil or a neutral flavoured oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) or 160° (320°F) fan-forced and line a brownie tray with baking paper.
  • Stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, corn starch and chocolate buds in a large bowl to combine.
  • In a separate bowl mix together the water, oil and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared brownie tray and smooth it out as best you can.
  • Pop the tray in the oven and bake the brownie for 40 minutes or until just set. It is best to undercook a brownie than overcook. See the recipe notes for different cooking times.
  • Remove the brownie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before cutting in to squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week.

Notes

Tips to Making Awesome Brownies
Brownies are simple perfection but there are a few tricks you can use to make yours work every time.
  • Line your brownie pan with enough baking paper to hang over the edges. This will make removing the cooked brownie so much easier.
  • Don't over-mix your brownie batter. Mix to combine and stop.
  • It is better to under-bake brownies than over-bake, always.
  • Leave the brownies to cool completely before you cut in to them.
  • To make brownies to die for, stir through a heap of chocolate chips or chunks. Besides giving you little pockets of melted chocolate, the additional chocolate makes the brownie extra fudgy. The chocolate melts in to the batter as it bakes!
Cooking Times
When using my 21cm x 18 cm (8 x 7 inches) pan I bake the brownies for around 43 minutes - it's a deeper pan. My longer 27.9 x 17.3cm (11 x 7) is more shallow so I only bake for around 35 minutes. Stop cooking when the middle is just set and only a few crumbs come away when tested with a skewer.
