Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 4 tablespoons oatrim
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Recipe

• 1 beat all ingredients except the flour in your food processor fitted with the steel blade (or in a bowl using an electric mixer) for about 2 minutes.
• 2 now incorporate the flour just until combined.
• 3 pour the batter into a lightly greased 9 by 13 inch pan.
• 4 bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sides pull away from the pan (the center may not be entirely set).
• 5 cool in pan before cutting.
• 6 notes: i successfully replaced 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of splenda for baking; you could use milk instead of water, and if you like a cakier brownie, add 1/4 tsp baking soda; you can lower the cholesterol in this recipe by using 3/4 c egg substitute (eg, egg beaters) or 3/4 c egg whites instead of whole eggs.
