Health and fertility benefits of Passover Brownies with Chocolate-Wine Glaze

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

6 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted margarine or (if not keeping brownies pareve) butter, cut into pieces
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
3/4 cup matzo cake meal
3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (3 oz)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with wax paper or greased foil.
Melt chocolate and margarine in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
Beat eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until pale and thick. Beat in chocolate in 3 batches on low speed. Stir in zest, matzo meal, and nuts just until blended.
Spread batter in baking pan and bake in middle of oven until firm and a tester comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan on rack, then invert onto a platter and remove paper or foil.
