Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
Add the Splenda Granulated Sweetener to the cocoa-butter mixture and whisk until well combined.
Stir in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
If desired, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips for a richer, chocolatey flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (avoid over-baking).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into 8 equal pieces and serving.
