IMG_2388IMG_2389

Eggless Chocolate Walnut Brownie was on my mind for a very very long time… but somehow I could never get my hands on it.  But this time I decided to bake one for myself on my birthday.  My daughter did the taste test this morning and gave me a thumbs up… I felt really happy as I don’t bake often.  And yes, today I am going to meet my childhood friend, what best gift one can carry on such occasion when you have home baked brownies!!!!  So, here is my Eggless Chocolate Walnut Brownie recipe. 

INGREDIENTS  
All Purpose Flour 3/4 cup
Baking Powder 1 tsp
Baking Soda 1/4 tsp
Castor Sugar 1/2 cup
Salt 1/8 tsp
Chocolate (semi sweet) 250 g
Butter 60 g
Applesauce 1/2 cup
Vanilla Essence 1 tsp
Instant Coffee 1/2 tsp
Warm Water 1 tsp
Walnut (Chopped) 1/2 cup

 

METHOD

  1. Preheat over to 180° C.  Grease a 8” x 8” brownie tin and line it with a parchment paper (see pic).
  2. Dilute instant coffee powder with one tsp of warm water.  Keep aside.
  3. Sift together all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.  Sift only once as we don’t want to incorporate too much of air in to the flour.  Keep aside.
  4. Melt chocolate along with butter in a double boiler.  Once its done, add in sugar and mix it well.  Now, add in applesauce, vanilla essence and coffee decoction.
  5. Now mix the dry and wet ingredients together.  All throw in the walnuts.  Give it a nice mix and do not over do it.
  6. If you feel, the batter is too thick, you can add a little warm water or milk.  Mine was not thick as I used applesauce.
  7. Pour it into the prepared baking tin and cook it for about 25 – 30 minutes.
  8. Once inserted tooth pick comes out clean, take the brownie out and leave it in the tin till completely cool. 
  9. Once cool, refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting into pieces.
  10. Enjoy your fudgy, chewy and chocolaty walnut chocolate brownie with melted hot chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

PS:  I would personally prefer 1/3 cup of sugar instead of 1/2 cup.
