CHOCOLATE BROWNIES WITH FEWER CALORIES



CHOCOLATE BROWNIES WITH FEWER CALORIES image

Categories     Chocolate     Low Cal

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces (6 squares) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup boiling water
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon (for dusting) confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  • Melt chocolate in a large heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave oven. Stir frequently until smooth then stir in the boiling water. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the egg whites and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Combine the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the chocolate mixture just until blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan.
  • Let cool completely before cutting into squares and dusting with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder: This will reduce the amount of sugar in your brownies and make them healthier.
  • Choose a natural sweetener: Instead of using refined sugar, opt for a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or stevia. This will make your brownies healthier and give them a more natural flavor.
  • Reduce the amount of butter or oil: You can reduce the amount of butter or oil in your brownies by up to half without compromising the taste or texture. This will make your brownies healthier and lower in calories.
  • Add some healthy ingredients: You can add some healthy ingredients to your brownies, such as fruits, nuts, or seeds. This will make your brownies more nutritious and give them a more interesting flavor.
  • Bake your brownies for the right amount of time: Overbaking your brownies will make them dry and crumbly. Underbaking them will make them gooey and undercooked. Bake your brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

These chocolate brownies with fewer calories are a delicious and healthier way to enjoy your favorite dessert. By following the tips above, you can make brownies that are lower in sugar, fat, and calories, without sacrificing taste or texture. So next time you're craving a chocolate fix, reach for one of these healthier brownies instead.
