low fat cooking spray

75g SR flour

50g unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ tsp salt

1 large egg

2 egg whites

175g caster sugar

6 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce

2 tbsp sunflower oil

2 tsp vanilla essence

15g chopped walnuts

Preheat oven Gas 4 180C 350F

Spray a 20cm (8") square non stick cake tin with the oil.  If not non stick, line the tin with greaseproof paper.

In medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa and salt.

In a large bowl whisk together the egg, egg whites, sugar, apple sauce, oil & vanilla.

Add the flour to the egg mixture, stirring until just blended.  Take care not to over mix or brownies will not rise.

Transfer to tin and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Bake in centre of oven until just set...around 25 mins.  A cocktail stick or skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean.

Cool in tin for 15 mins, then cut into 12.
