It's a FAKT that MOST BRWONIES MAKE YOU FAT... But I've got a Quick & Simple Recipe for You to Enjoy Delicious FAT-BURNING BROWNIES !
It's True! And when You Read this Entire Page, I'll Show You How to Make ANY Dessert Into A Healthy, Fat-Burning Version that Will Make You LEANER... Insead of FATTER!
I figured after a day like that I need, no I deserve a thick fudgey chocolate brownie. As I gathered my ingredients it was to my horror to find there wasn’t a single egg in the house or loose neighborhood chicken around to capture... But, brownies don’t have to be made with eggs!
After a little research I can have a barely any fat brownie without any guilt, I got to mixing. I found a recipe for yogurt brownies but realized it still had oil that I now did not want as I was trying to find the ultimate low-fat brownie without using applesauce that produces a cakey batter and still has the need for eggs. Using that recipe and adding a leveling agent (baking soda and flax seeeds to replace the egg) I came up with this delicious rendition of what almost tastes like a real brownie.
Disclaimer: Now let’s get real, here. If you omit the awesome goodness of eggs, butter, and oil are you really going to have a product that tastes exactly like a brownie? No. But by taking all of that out and adding the right amount of Greek yogurt and a few tablespoons of flax seeds you are left with one intensly chocolately fudge brownie and you can still fit into your skinny jeans after.
Low-fat Fudge Brownies makes 9 – 2″x2″ brownies
- 3/4 semi-sweet chocolate chips + additional 1/4 cup for batter (optional)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, fat free to 2%
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanila bean paste, or vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 Tablespoons ground flax seeds or flax seed meal*
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
* Ground Flax seeds act as a leveling agent and are used in
this recipe as a lower calorie/lower fat substitute for eggs. Find it at
most grocery stores and at specialty markets. You can make this without
flax seeds but the brownies might not be as tall as in the photos.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. or 180 oC
2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and melt in 30 second intervals, stiring after each time, until melted.
3. Pour yogurt in a large bowl. Add the melted chocolate, sugar, and vanilla to the yogurt and stir to combine.
4. In another bowl, combine flour, ground flax seeds, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate/yogurt mixture and stir until just combined. Add water and stir until incorperated. Fold in the 1/4 chocolate chips (optional).
5. Line an 8″x8″ oven safe baking dish with parchment paper. If you do not have parchment paper you will have to generously grease the dish with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the baking dish and place in the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Using the parchment paper as a handle, carefully remove the brownies from the baking dish and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Cut into squares. Best when eaten warm.
Loaded with chocolate but not too sweet, these barely any fat brownies have the rich fudge taste and texture you desire without all of the fat. Skinny jeans rejoice.
