Chocolate Cinnamon-Walnut Brownies With Chocolate Ganache image

Plan ahead the brownies have to chill for 2 or more hours for the ganache to set properly. Prep time includes making ganache. I also added in a handful (didn't measure!) of mini chocolate chips to the batter along with the nuts, but that is optional. These brownies are wicked!

LOW CARB DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WALNUT BROWNIES



Low Carb Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 25 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons wheat bran, or oat bran
1 1/4 cups plus 1/2 tablespoon soy flour
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon no sugar added vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Low Carb Chocolate Frosting, recipe follows
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon no sugar added vanilla extract
Few drops hot water, as needed, to thin consistency

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Spray pan with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside. Mix wheat bran and 1/2 tablespoon soy flour together and sprinkle evenly over the inside of the greased pan, also coating the sides.
  • Place the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a steel bowl and melt over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk in 1 cup sugar substitute and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Once thoroughly blended, turn off heat and keep warm until needed.
  • With an electric mixer on high, beat the eggs, 1 cup sugar substitute and the vanilla extract just until blended. Reduce to low speed and then blend in the chocolate mixture.
  • With a wooden spoon, mix in the baking powder, 1 1/4 cups soy flour, walnuts, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Do not over-bake or brownies will be dry and hard.) Cool completely before frosting with low carb chocolate frosting. Cut into 5 rows by 5 rows to make 25 pieces.
  • Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until well combined. Use to frost brownies, but make sure brownies are completely cooled, or the butter in the frosting will melt.

Tips:

  • To achieve fudgy brownies, make sure to underbake them slightly. The center should be just set, but still a little gooey.
  • If you prefer cakey brownies, bake them for a few minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough brownies.
  • Be generous with the chocolate chips. More chocolate chips mean more deliciousness!
  • If you don't have walnuts on hand, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • For a special touch, try swirling some Nutella or peanut butter into the batter before baking.

Conclusion:

These chocolate walnut brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're rich, fudgy, and packed with chocolatey goodness. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give these brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
