How to Make Healthy Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup canola oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Set the chocolate mixture aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the cooled chocolate mixture, until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
