Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (can sub gluten-free or almond flour)
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup rhubarb (diced small)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Equipment

  • An 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Two large mixing bowls
  • A sturdy whisk
  • A flexible rubber spatula
  • Standard measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly butter the top.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them until they are just incorporated. Add the rhubarb, chocolate chips, and nuts and mix until they are combined. The batter will be quite thick.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out so that it is even. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean - see notes. Make sure not to overcook the brownies so they dont dry out.
  6. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut them into 9 squares and ... try not to eat them all at once!

Notes

These brownies are best enjoyed slightly warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness (bring to room temperature before serving). They freeze well for up to 3 months. For variations, add orange zest or espresso powder, or swirl in sweetened cream cheese. Remember to avoid overmixing the batter for a fudgy texture and always cool completely for clean slices.
