Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Slowly add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and powdered milk, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet batter, folding gently until no dry flour remains.
  5. Pour the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly and evenly, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and cut into desired shapes without separating, then return to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes until crispy.
  8. Let the Brownie Brittle cool completely on the baking sheet, then separate the pieces for serving.
