THE VERY BEST HEALTHY BROWNIES YOU WILL EVER TASTE



The Very Best Healthy Brownies You Will Ever Taste image

I have been searching for a healthy alternative to store-bought Fiber One 100 calorie brownies and I have finally found it! These are more of a cake-like, lighter brownie than the very dense and chewy black bean brownies that are so popular. To me, they taste better than and have the same texture as a regular, full-fat brownie,...

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Best Brownies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, good-quality semisweet chocolate, unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, espresso powder, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, kosher salt, large eggs, all-purpose flour, flaky sea salt

Provided by Vaughn Vreeland

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ sticks unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for greasing
8 oz good-quality semisweet chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate, 60-70% cacao, roughly chopped
¾ cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, divided
1 tablespoon espresso powder
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with softened butter.
  • Combine the chopped chocolate, ¼ cup (30 g) of cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a heatproof liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter just comes to a vigorous simmer, about 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Immediately pour the hot butter over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, then set aside.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. It will be similar to the texture of very thick pancake batter.
  • With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture and blend until smooth.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
  • Sift in the flour and remaining cocoa powder and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking pan from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels, then lightly drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out fudgy but the edges look cooked through, about 20 minutes more. The center of the brownies will seem under-baked, but the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Set the brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan.
  • Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan. Cut into 24 bars and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your brownies will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • 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 2 months.
