  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Pure extract works best.
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar Lemon juice can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Use dairy-free chocolate.
  • 1/2 cup Nuts Walnuts or pecans work well; omit for nut-free.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt, blending well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together water, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined.
  5. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick—it should have a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool brownies in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
