Microwave Brownies Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Cook: 10 min.

Yield: 9-12 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

In a bowl, beat sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt on medium speed for 1 minute. Add butter; beat until blended. Combine flour and cocoa. Gradually add to sugar mixture; mix well. Stir in walnuts. Transfer to a greased microwave-safe 8-in. square dish. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes, rotating every 1 minute or until a moist area about 1-1/4 in. in diameter remains in the center (when touched, brownie will cling to your finger while area underneath will be almost dry). Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 9-12 brownies.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested in a 1,100-watt microwave.

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

We were looking for a quick recipe for a family dessert. I'd heard of microwave brownies before, but had never tried them. I cannot eat wheat, so I substituted with Spelt flour. I also used Special Dark cocoa powder. These were very good and disappeared before it could cool off completely. I was happy to be able to eat the treat along with my family and my boys LOVED them and no one could tell I'd used a different flour. :)
