Ooey Gooey Chocolate Brownies Ingredients
You will need:

- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

- 1¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup egg whites well shaken
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Substitutions and Additions
NUTS: A delicious addition is a ½ cup of sliced almonds to the flour mixture! You could also add pecans or walnuts.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: For all of you chocolate lovers out there, you can add ½ cup of chocolate chips. Either semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or even chocolate chunks to this recipe for double the chocolate and a nice texture in these cocoa brownies.
POWDERED SUGAR: A nice garnish for a little bit of added sweetness and pretty aesthetic is to sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the top of your brownies before serving them.
How to Make This Ooey Gooey Chocolate Brownies Recipe
STEP ONE: Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
STEP TWO: In another bowl whisk sugar, liquid egg whites, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until creamy.
PRO TIP: If you are separating the eggs yourself, the easiest way to separate egg whites from egg yolks is to crack the egg into your hand over a small bowl. Hold the yolk in your hand while letting the white run through your fingers.
STEP THREE: Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.
STEP FOUR: Pour mixture into a greased 8-inch square pan.
PRO TIP: Lining the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil will allow you to lift the entire baked brownies out of the pan for easier cutting once cooled. You can also grease the pan instead if you would prefer.
STEP FIVE: Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until firm to the touch. Do not over-bake.
PRO TIP: Make sure not to overbake these. You want the insides to be slightly gooey and the outsides firm.
STEP SIX: Cool and cut into squares.
PRO TIP: It is essential that the brownies are completely cooled before slicing. Brownies will crumble if they are too warm when cut.
