Say Hello to Mr Gooey Ms Chewy and go Mmm- Brownies three ways! Simply altering the baking powder proportions and leaving it out totally in one, gives three very different textured Brownies! All yum in their own ways.
Yeah, this has to be the simplest recipe ever for Brownies. No chocolate on the double boiler, no electric beater needed, just mix, bake and enjoy! A big shout of thanks to my friend Shilpa Pinaki whose recipes are ever reliable and incredibly easy to follow! Shilpa, this one’s for you buddy!

Mix oil and sugar well. Add lightly beaten eggs and vanilla essence to it.

Thanks Pallavi 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Do u think I could make the same in a micro? Pls help how to do so as im pretty new to this. Thanks.
Hi Rupal
Sorry but I do all my baking in the OTG. Thanks for dropping by 🙂
garima. can I grease the tin with oil n sprinkle maida incase I dont have the butter paper available at home? so tempted to bake now !!
also did you use a hand blender or electric to do the same..I dunn want to overdoo the mixing so thought will ask..thanks 🙂
Hi Jyoti
Just a simple mix with a hand whisk is good,
I use butter paper as they tend to stick. Take a plain sheet, rub butter on it and your butter paper is ready 🙂
garima …ok tried n they turned super yummmy …its a full proof recipe!! I tried the gooey one…loved the texture …only my batter was a lil thick so used a electric whisk only and had to add 2-3 tbspn milk since it was not mixing… 10/ 10 …very happy !!
Wow Jyoti! Super duper! Milk is always good. I do that too when the batter is too thick. Yeyy on the 10/10 ❤
Hi Garima,
I am new to baking, however the way you write recipes, it seems baking isn’t that difficult 🙂 And now i’m tempted to try these brownies.. Can you please tell which Oil should we be using for it? what all other variants can be used instead like butter etc and in what proportion? Thanks in advance!
Hi Niharica
This is one of the simplest recipes. You can use any vegetable oil. I used sunflower oil.
I have baked Brownies using oil always but I am sure butter will work fine in the same measure. Do give them a go!
Happy baking 🙂
Can I use butter instead of oil …plz repy
Yeah Reena I guess it should work fine. I always use oil though but butter should be okay.
Happy Baking 🙂
Hey ur one cup measures how much?
I see so many different measurement cups in market
Kaajal
Depends on what you are measuring.
Flour is 125-130 grams
Granulated sugar is 200 grams
It is best to weigh actually.
