Point Count: No Cholesteral Brownies

Adapted from epicurious.com

1 1/2 cups sugar - 24 pts.
1 cup all purpose flour - 8 pts.
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 3 pts.
1 teaspoon baking powder - 0 pts.
1/4 teaspoon salt - 0 pts.
3/4 cup vegetable oil - 36 pts.
4 egg whites, beaten to blend - 1 pt.
2 teaspoons vanilla - 0 pts.
2/3 cup chopped walnuts - 15 pts.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 8-inch square pan with 2-inch-high sides. Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add oil, egg whites and vanilla and blend. Stir in walnuts. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until brownies are slightly puffed in center and edges are beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Cover hot brownies in pan with foil and chill overnight. Cut brownies into 16 2-inch squares. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container.)

Makes 16. 87 points total, that would be 5.5 points each. Not great but not as bad as a regular brownie, that is for sure!

Comments:
They're a full point less if you don't add the walnuts... (given that I hate walnuts, not so difficult for me to do.) They sound good though.
 
I might actually do that; my husband hates nuts "in things". Good call!
