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

Notes
Ensure not to overmix the batter and let the brownies cool completely before cutting for the best texture.
