Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
¼ cup water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. (We prefer Baker's Joy.)
Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
Bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.

Notes

For double chocolate brownies, stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or ½ cup miniature chocolate chips to the batter.
For nutty brownies, stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
These brownies are best sliced using a plastic knife. Wipe knife clean when necessary for cleaner edges.
This recipe is tested with a nonstick Wilton 9x13 pan.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
