88 Calorie Brownies

Thought I'd share this too. It's from a chef on Discovery Channel.

88 Calorie Brownies November 30, 2007

Yes, these are for real! They are the creation of Chef Devin Alexander, a master at turning sinful treats into healthier fare. The bestselling author is also a host of her own show on Discovery Healthy Channel.

Devin’s 88 Calorie Brownies

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 egg whites

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Butter-flavored cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8×8 inch non-stick cake pan with spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, using a sturdy whisk or spatula, mix the applesauce, vanilla, egg whites and sugar until they are well combined.

Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and no lumps remain. Pour it into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chips evenly over the top. Bake the brownies for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry (a few crumbs are okay).

Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow them to cool 5 minutes. Cut into 12 equal brownies. Makes 12 (1 brownie) servings.

Each brownie has: 88 calories, 2 g Protein, 19 g carbohydrates, 1 g fat, less than 1 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 1 g Fiber, 133 mg sodium

Traditional Double chocolate Brownies have: 260 calories, 3 g Protein, 37 g carbohydrates, 12 g fat, 3 g saturated fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 1 g Fiber, 165 mg sodium

Ezma,

Thank you for this recipe. I am going to try this out on my kids today and then when I can eat it myself (which is in about a 3 wks or so). I am a big brownie lover and if i can still treat myself every now and then to brownies with fewer calories, WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!! YES I CAN!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You're very welcome. I haven't even had a chance to try it out yet myself but judging by the ingrediants it should be just like a regular brownie. I've been trying to cook up a healthy storm so I'm trying all kinds of new recipes.< /p>

Thanks for sharing! Brownies sound so good. I have been on a chocolate craving kick since we got home from vacation, thankfully I am doing a good job of ignoring it.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
