Jim Dad's (Grandpa Jim) Sure-to-Please Brownies

This is an updated version that gives a brownie that is chewier than the ones made with the previous recipes that were here.

• 1/2 c melted coconut oil, margarine or butter
• 1 c sugar
• 2 eggs or 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1/2 c baking cacao powder
• 1/2 c flour (cake flour works best)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 c chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Grease a 5x9 inch bread pan with coconut oil (margarine or butter) and dust with flour. Melt the coconut oil (margarine or butter) by heating in a microwave. Vigorously mix melted coconut oil (margarine or butter) and sugar, add the eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in baking cacao and flour (and nuts if your are using them). Spread the mixture into the bread pan and bake at 350 F for 20-30 min or until toothpick comes out clean.

This recipe can be made vegan by using coconut oil and replacing the eggs with 1/2 c apple sauce. When replacing eggs with apple sauce, increase flour to 1 cup.
