Ingredients

All-purpose flour

¾ cup(s)

Baking powder

½ tsp

Table salt

¼ tsp

Unsalted butter

3 Tbsp

Unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup(s)

Vanilla extract

2 tsp

Sugar

¾ cup(s)

Packed brown sugar

¼ cup(s)

Egg

1 large egg(s)

Egg whites

2 large

Chopped walnuts

¾ cup(s), divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil or parchment, allowing the foil or parchment to extend over the rim of the pan by 2 inches. Spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the cocoa and vanilla; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and egg whites to the cocoa mixture; whisk until blended. Stir in the flour mixture until blended. Stir in 1/2 cup of walnuts.
  3. Scrape the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup of walnuts over the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging, 20 – 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack. Lift from the pan using the overhanging foil or parchment as handles; cut into 16 squares.
  4. Serving size: 1 square.

Notes

For easier cutting, refrigerate the cooled brownies about 1 hour.
