Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temp
3/4 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped ( about 2 1/2 tbsp)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon egg whites, well beaten
2 1/4 teaspoons egg whites, well beaten
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Lightly grease a 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom of pan with a strip of tin foil to fit down the length & up the short sides with enough extra length to extend over the edges by 1 1/2″. Lightly grease foil and set pan aside.
Place butter & chocolate in a medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on medium power until chocolate is soft & butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is smooth. Add sugar & whisk well.
Then add egg white & vanilla. Whisk until blended.
Add the flour and salt. Whisk well. Fold in pecans.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
Bake until toothpick inserted in centre comes out with moist crumbs, 28-30 minutes; the top will be dry and starting to shrink from edges of pan. Do not overcook.
Remove from oven and place on wire rack. Let brownie cool completely in the pan. Use edges of foil to lift the brownies out of the pan.
