MAKES: 12 Brownies

1⁄2 cup (1stick) butter
2 oz semi-sweet dark chocolate, chopped
3⁄4 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1⁄2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3⁄4 tsp salt
1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a pan set over low heat.
3. Stir in the sugar, cocoa, and vanilla and remove from the heat.
4. Add the eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk until smooth. Stir in the walnuts if using.
5. Pour the batter into an 8″ x 8″ baking pan coated with a bit of nonstick spray.
6. Spread the batter out into an even layer.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out nearly clean. (If you like your brownies less fudgy, bake a few extra minutes, until the toothpick comes out perfectly clean.)

With a restrained amount of butter and sugar and a dose of good, antioxidant-rich dark chocolate, you’re going to have a delicious square to devour, rather than a sweet treat that leaves you disappointed. This brownie may be low-calorie, but it’s 100 percent the real deal.
