Almost Fat Free Brownies
July 20, 2011
With all kinds of summer parties and other gatherings, it seems that it's really easy to over eat.
Wanting to enjoy all the good food, without the guilt, I found this recipe for almost fat free brownies.
This one uses a jar of prune baby food. This is basically the substitute for the oil you would normally add. Another substitution, if you have all the other ingredients handy and don't want to run out for pureed prunes, is apple sauce.
In fact, in many recipes you can replace some or all of the fat with apple sauce and get good results. I have tried that with other brownie recipes and it works well, though the texture changes, sometimes resulting more fluffy cake-like texture than a dense brownie texture.
But, hey, if I can enjoy the chocolate flavor without the fat that's a good thing!
| Almost Fat Free Brownies • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder • 4 ounce jar prune baby food • 3 egg whites • 1 cup sugar • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1/2 cup flour • 1/4 cup nuts (optional) Preheat oven to 350°.

Enjoy!
