These brownies are chocoately, however they aren't as sweet. Just an FYI. I thought they were delicious & if you're on a weight loss/healthy lifestyle journey, then you'll want to get ween yourself off of the overly sweet sweets.
BTW, this recipe made 18 squares using the brownie baking kit & the nutritional information is based off of 18 servings. Also, this recipe makes a thin layer, so if you have a larger pan, you may want to double the recipe.
Ingredients
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 ts salt
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup baking cocoa (will have to see if they sell dark chocolate in baking cocoa form)
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp egg whites (1 egg can also be used, however this will add cholesterol to your finished product)
Mix ingredients & bake at 350 degrees F for 17-20 minutes.
I added coconut to a couple to see how they would taste.

This seems great! I'm not sure why it is so high in sugar though- the only thing with a lot of sugar in it in the ingredients might be apple sauce...but no sugar is listed in the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI think it's coming from the honey. The applesauce I use is the natural (no high fructose corn syrup added). Although that site has been giving me issues when I try to figure in a recipe with almond milk...it posts it like if it had a ton of sat fat...but regardless what kind of almond milk you use (original or unsweet) there is no sat fat. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for commenting!!!!
Delete8 grams of sugar actually is not a lot. This could actually fit into my diet plan. The normal sugar consumption a day is 48g. There actually is about 9 grams in a light yogurt which I eat everyday for breakfast. The type of sugar produces less fat however because this isn't a processed sugar..
