Mom's Best Brownies Recipe for Diabetics
Ingredients 1/2 cup cake flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 tsp salt 2 egg whites 1 large egg 3/4 cup granulated sugar 6 tbsps unsweetened applesauce 2 tbsps vegetable oil 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract 1 tbsp chopped walnuts (optional) Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and salt. Mix well. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, egg, sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just blended; do not overmix. Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle with walnuts. Bake until just set and a toothpick in center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack and cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut brownies into squares and place on a serving plate. Variation: For a slightly chewier brownie, replace the 1/2 cup of cake flour with 7 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Sifting is not necessary. Proceed with the recipe as directed. Also, instead of walnuts, try sprinkling brownie batter with chopped pecans or almonds.
