Recipe
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F (325 F for glass or dark pans). Grease a 13x9-inch nonstick baking pan OR line a 13x9-inch regular aluminum baking pan with foil, extending over edges to form handles, and grease foil.
2. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted completely OR microwave in large microwavable bowl on HIGH for 1 minute; then stir until chocolate is melted.
3. Stir in the oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Stir in the sugar. Mix in the egg whites until well blended. Stir in the expresso, if using. Mix in the flour just until blended completely. DO NOT OVERMIX. Fold in the walnuts.
4. Bake around 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Cool completely.
5. Cut into 20 - 24 brownies.
