My recipe this week is one that just makes you melt - Super soft  and moist Eggless Brownies.

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour - 1 cup 

Cocoa Powder - 1/3 cup 

Powdered Sugar* - 3/4 cup + 2 tbspn (measured after powdering the regular sugar)

Baking Soda - 1 tsp 

Salt - a pinch

Oil (Canola or Vegetable) - 1/3 cup 

Buttermilk** - 1 cup

Instant Coffee Powder - 1/2 tsp(optional)

Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp

Walnuts - 1/4 cup, chopped (any type of nuts)

*If you are using confectioners' sugar add 1 cup sugar

**If you don't have buttermilk boil 1 cup milk. Add 1 tsp of vinegar and stir it well. Let it cool. 

This mixture(include the whey) acts as a great substitute for buttermilk.

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 350F / 180C.

In a bowl beat the buttermilk well. Mix in the oil, vanilla extract. Keep it aside.

In another bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, coffee powder(if using) and salt. Mix the powdered sugar with this and stir well to combine. 

Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold to combine until there are no more streaks of flour left.

Transfer the batter to a greased 8X8 pan and add chopped walnuts on top.

Bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the brownie comes out with crumbs.

Let the baked brownies sit in the pan and cool completely before you cut into squares.
