Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until a batter forms. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and semisweet chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious, low-fat walnut brownies!
