Dairy-Free Brownies!

I wanted brownies. I had no butter. I Googled substitutions, and olive oil is what I used. The result: So delicious, that I permanently changed my recipe!


Ingredients:
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp dark cocoa




Mix sugar and oil together, then add remaining ingredients and mix well. Using more olive oil, grease an 8x8 glass Pyrex baking dish. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, then turn off heat and leave the brownies in the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.
