Dark Chocolate Brownies

I've been in the mood for brownies lately and had never made them from scratch, so I decided to try out a few recipes. This one was by far the winner. The brownies are a little bit lighter (in texture) than regular brownies, but still chewy and rich. They are the perfect degree of sweetness, and super chocolatey. And total bonus- they are dairy free. I sprinkled the top of the brownies with a little bit of sugar which gave them a nice thin crust on top but is totally optional. I ate a brownie after lunch just by itself, but you could make a pretty tasty brownie sundae if you have ice cream on hand.

Ingredients:
-1 1/2 c flour
-2/3 c cocoa powder
-1 1/2 c sugar
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/2 c olive oil
-2/3 c soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, or any kind of milk besides regular cow milk (I used cashew milk- to make it you blend 1/2 c cashews with about 3/4 c coconut water until smooth)
-2 tsp vanilla extract
-1 egg

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan with olive oil.
-Sift together the dry ingredients. Set aside.
-Whisk or mix together the olive oil, milk, vanilla, and egg until blended.
-Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix together.
-Spread batter into pan (I used my hands to flatten/even it out); sprinkle sugar on top (optional)
-Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
