Brownies that are gluten free, dairy free and delicious

I'd post a picture of these brownies but I ate them all too quickly!

For Meg and Heather.

1/2 cup cooking oil

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

1/2 cup white rice sugar

1/3 cup cocoa

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

2. Grease 9 inch square baking pan
3. Stir together oil, sugar and vanilla in a bowl, add eggs
4. In another bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt
5. Gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating well until blended
6. Stir in nuts if you like them in your brownies
7. Spread mixture evenly into greased pan
