Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup corn oil margarine
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Melt the margarine in a large bowl.
  2. Add all other ingredients except walnuts.
  3. Mix well until smooth.
  4. Stir in chopped walnuts.
  5. Spread batter evenly in an 8 x 8 x 2-inch metal pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes or until done.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. If you want a sweeter brownie, you can increase the sugar slightly or add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Make sure to mix the batter thoroughly to avoid any lumps. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. These brownies are a great addition to your collection of American recipes.

Serving Suggestions

These no cholesterol brownies are delicious on their own but can be enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For added flavor, drizzle with a chocolate or caramel sauce. They pair beautifully with Rita's Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy them as a delightful dessert or a sweet treat during coffee breaks.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover 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 or freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply microwave a brownie for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
