Best Fruit Sweetened Fig And Walnut Brownies Recipes

LOW CARB DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WALNUT BROWNIES

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.

FRUITCAKE BROWNIES

Steps:

• For Brownies:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine 1 cup butter and semisweet and unsweetened chocolates in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolates melt and mixture is smooth. Cool to lukewarm.
• Using electric mixer, beat sugar and 3 eggs in large bowl until very thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Stir in chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Whisk 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl to blend. Stir dry ingredients into chocolate mixture. Mix in walnuts and dried fruits.
• Transfer batter to prepared dish; smooth top. Bake until top cracks and tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Cool in pan on rack.
• For frosting:
• Combine room temperature cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract in processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add sugar and process to blend. Spread frosting over brownies. Refrigerate until frosting is well chilled, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover; keep refrigerated.)
• Cut brownies into squares. Arrange on platter; garnish with walnuts, if desired, and serve.

MISO WALNUT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 opposing sides. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Melt the butter and chocolate in a large pot over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add 1/3 cup of the miso and whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs, 33 to 36 minutes.
• Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Use the foil overhang to help lift them out of the pan.
• Just before serving, whisk the confectioners' sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons miso and 1 tablespoon water in another medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the brownies then cut into 24 squares. The brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
