Who doesn't LOVE Brownies? That dense gooey chocolatey taste is a comfort eat (with a hop cuppa coffee). I love ordering coffee with choc brownie at the caffe. The ONLY flip side is when you look at the nutritional information and those amounts mentioned under 'fats and saturated fats'. It takes away half the 'comfort' of eating brownie, and makes you, well, uncomfortable, and one wished for low fat versions of the same. Not anymore though!
I discovered this lovely easy recipe for healthy low fat brownie and haven't felt guilty about having one ever after that. The better half and the kids love it too. So, a keeper all the way!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweentened cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 mini choco chips (optional)
Method -
1. Heat oven to 360 F (176.6. C). Coat baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
3. Put sugar, oil, egg and egg white and vanilla in small bowl. Whisk and pour into flour mixture and stir walnuts & choco chips (if using). Batter would be very stiff!
4. Spread batter in prepared pan, put in oven and bake 20 to 22 minutes or until firm at edges and wooden pick inserted off centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. Cool completely. Cut in bars and ENJOY!!
