Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and Splenda. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the cocoa mixture, whisking until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Gradually fold in the flour with a spatula or spoon until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and optional dark chocolate chips, if using, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 9 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
