Healthy No Fuss Walnut Brownies

Healthy because it uses olive oil & no fuss because the batter ready in no time!

I feel this was the first greatest hit way back in 2010 when I first started baking. Pradeep likes brownies and he loves to pair it with vanilla ice cream. So once during my usual recipe hunt, I bumped into a real cool and easy recipe for walnut brownies. Since then it has been my go to recipe whenever we had to satiate out sweet tooth!

The best part of this recipe is that you need not beat the batter for a long time. Light hand mixing is all it requires! The original recipe calls for butter, however I have substituted olive oil for it. The recipe also had fudge topping, which I often skip when I make these black beauties often. It still has all purpose flour and sugar, so you can limit your portion intake.

Ingredients

All purpose flour - 1/2 Cup

Cocoa powder - 6 tablespoon

Brown sugar - 12 tablespoon

Walnuts - 1 Cup, slightly crushed

Eggs - 2, lightly beaten

Olive oil - 130-140 ml

Preparation

1. Preheat oven at 180 degree C.

2. Heat a sauce pan, mix together the oil and cocoa powder. Switch off when well mixed.

3. In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add in the sugar and beat with hands to combine. (this does not require vigorous beating, just light beating would do)

4. Add the cocoa mix and walnuts, blend in. 

5. Sieve in the flour and fold in, do not beat.

Cooking

6. Grease a baking pan and pour the batter in. Bake for about 25 minutes.

Serving

7. Let it cook completely. Cut into pieces and serve with ice cream or as it is.
