Fudgy chocolate brownies



Holly I can't wait to try these!
Can you believe brownies can be blood sugar-friendly?

Amazing but true! Moist, blissful bites are made

healthier with unsweetened, antioxidant-rich cocoa
powder and omega-3-enriched eggs. It's a well-earned

reward for your goal to conquer diabetes.

Serves: 32; Serving = 1 brownie

Prep: 15 min Cook: 30 min Stand: 15 min Total: 1 hour

Ingredients:

1 c butter, softened

1 1/2 c granulated sugar

4 large omega-3-enriched eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c unsweetened cocoa powder

1 c flour 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c walnuts, chopped

Frosting:

1 c confectioners' sugar
1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 Tbsp butter, softened

2 Tbsp low-fat milk

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a
13" x 9" foil-lined baking pan with cooking spray.

2. Cream the butter and granulated sugar in the
bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed until

light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.


3. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and

salt in a large bowl. Add to the butter mixture

and beat until smooth. Fold in the walnuts.


4. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and place
it on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 25

to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted near

the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to

a rack to cool from hot to slightly warm.


5. Beat the frosting ingredients in the bowl of an

electric mixer until smooth. Spread over the

slightly warm brownies. Cut into 32 squares once

the frosting is set.
