Healthy Brownies

I found this recipe in good housekeeping website (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/healthy-makeover-brownies-recipe?click=recipe_sr)

I took this recipe and modified a little bit. I don’t like strong cocoa taste or too much sugar. So I reduced the amount of sugar a little bit and replaced ¼ cup of cocoa powder with all-purpose flour. The brownies came out quite good. But I had to keep them in an air tight container. When I left them outside for a while, they became a little dry.

Here is how the brownie looks when cut:

Ingredients

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil spread or cooking oil
3 large egg whites
About 10 walnuts chopped (optional)
Butter of greasing baking pan

Method

Preheat oven to 350F.
Butter a square (8 x 8 inch) baking pan
Add vanilla extract to coffee powder/granules and let it dissolve
Sift flour and combine cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder
In a medium bowl whisk together oil, egg whites, sugar and coffee mixture until well mixed and smooth
Blend in flour mixture and walnuts and mix well
Spread in the prepared pan and bake for about 25 – 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean
