Eggless Chocolate Brownies | Eggless Cake Recipes

I made these wonderful egg-less chocolate brownies months ago and never really got a chance to post it. Here I am after almost half an year and I definitely want to post it before Christmas. This Christmas season I have not baked anything yet since we are visiting our friend in Seattle. If you are trying to bake something quick for the season or want to leave something out for Santa, try these.

Ingredients:
Recipe source - Nags
Serves - 16
All-purpose flour / Maida -  1 cup
Cocoa powder - 1/2 cup
Powdered sugar - 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Oil - 1/3 cup
Buttermilk - 1 cup (see notes below)
Instant coffee powder - 1/2 tsp
Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp
Walnuts - 1/4 cup -  chopped -optional

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x9 pan with oil and line with parchment paper with overhang in two opposite sides. Whisk the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, salt and coffee powder together in one bowl. Mix the oil, buttermilk and vanilla in another bowl. Now pour the buttermilk to the dry ingredients slowly and mix with a wooden spoon until no flour is seen. Mix the chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 mins or until the toothpick inserted comes out with crumbs (not batter). Cool the pan completely and make 16 pieces. Serve as is or topped with whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla icecream.
Notes: You can substitute walnuts with any nuts of your choice of chocolate chips. The coffee really perks up the chocolate flavour,so don't miss it. If you do not have buttermilk, substitute it with 1 cup of milk + 1 tsp vinegar.
