CHIPPY BLONDE BROWNIES

We are a family who loves brownies.  And I have over 10 different brownie recipes.

I've never shared this one though.  It's a take on the classic recipe by the same name.  I've made it a tad bit more healthful and they were a hit!  I even gave a couple to my friend Ingrid who dropped in yesterday for a drinks date (socially distanced of course, in the backyard sun!)

Let me know if you make these and what you think!

CHIPPY BLONDE BROWNIES

6 TBLs of Earth Balance butter (original), softened

1 c. brown sugar

2 TBLs of ground flaxseed mixed with 6 TBLs of warm water

(let sit for 5 minutes or until like egg consistency)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 c. whole wheat white flour

1 tsp baking powder

dash of salt

half package (12 oz pkg) of organic dark chocolate chips 65% cacoa

1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
• Add in the "eggs" (flaxseed) and mix well.  
• Add in the vanilla and stir well. 
• Add in the flour, baking powder and dash of salt; mix thoroughly.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
• Spread into a lightly greased (I like the coconut oil spray kind) 11x9 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.  It usually takes about 27 min for mine (I have a gas oven).
• Insert a knife or toothpick and if it comes out clean, the brownies are done!
• Cool completely before cutting and serving.

ENJOY!!
