To make these brownies lower in fat and calories (but still moist and fudgy), we replaced some of the eggs and butter with prune puree.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
1 container (2.5 ounces) prune puree (1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Set aside.

GUILT FREE BROWNIES

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Low Fat     Quick & Easy

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
4 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate pieces
2 teaspoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom of a 9-x-9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. In a medium saucepan, melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in sugar, water, and vanilla. Mix in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until combined. Add chocolate pieces. Pour batter into pan; bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and provide a natural sweetness to the brownies.
  • Do not over-mix the batter: Over-mixing the batter can result in tough and dense brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Over-baking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting and serving: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

These guilt-free brownies are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, coconut sugar, and ripe bananas, and they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup.
