Vanilla Brownies Recipe (Vegan)

We love these vanilla brownies! They are rich and moist and go great with a scoop of Blackberry Sorbet. I based this recipe off of my Carob Brownies Recipe (Vegan) when we wanted a dessert that didn't have chocolate or carob in it.

Vanilla Brownies Recipe

2-1/2 cups unbleached flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

1 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Batter will be thick. Spray a 9x12 pan with non-stick spray. Spread batter evenly into pan with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

If using rice flour to make these brownies use the following instead of the unbleached flour above:
1-1/2 cups + 2 tbsp brown rice flour
3/4 cup white rice flour
2 tbsp binder (potato starch, tapioca flour, arrowroot powder, etc.)
