How to Make Low Fat Brownie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until glossy and stiff peaks remain.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. In another bowl, combine ½ cup vegetable shortening, ½ cup chocolate syrup, ¼ cup fudge sauce, ¼ cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites until no streaks remain.
  8. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or shortening.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
