Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Spray a baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- Beat together sugar, egg substitute, Kahlua, and melted margarine until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in finely chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality cocoa powder. If you don't have egg substitute, you can use 1/2 cup of applesauce as a replacement for eggs in this recipe. Additionally, ensure that you fold in the walnuts gently to avoid overmixing the batter. For a twist, you might also add chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
These Kahlua brownies are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an impressive dessert, serve alongside a slice of Angel Food Cake. Drizzle with chocolate sauce or sprinkle powdered sugar on top for added elegance.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply microwave a square for about 10-15 seconds until warm, or pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular eggs instead of egg substitute?
Yes, you can substitute the egg substitute with 3 large eggs. Beat them until frothy before adding to the wet ingredients. This will give the brownies a richer texture and flavor.
What can I use instead of Kahlua?
If you prefer not to use Kahlua, you can replace it with another coffee liqueur or even strong brewed coffee for a similar flavor profile. For a non-alcoholic option, try using a coffee extract or espresso powder mixed with a bit of water.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Keep an eye on them as oven temperatures can vary, and you may need to adjust the baking time slightly.
