The only thing better than the taste is the fact that they are FAT FREE! They're a snap to make and the results are fantastic. I'm a health nut, always on a quest to create healthier treats, and these brownies taste as good, if not better, than the 'real thing.' Serve warm with fat-free frozen yogurt or top with fat-free whipped topping for a scrumptious chocolate dessert.

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
⅔ cup white sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup fat-free milk
¼ cup applesauce
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
⅔ cup brown sugar
1 ⅔ cups hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
1 container (2.5 ounces) prune puree (1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, bring an inch of water to a simmer over low heat. Place chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl; set bowl over pan. Stir occasionally until melted. Remove from heat. Immediately whisk in sugar, egg, egg white, prune puree, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour and cocoa. Stir into chocolate mixture just until incorporated.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until top is firm (a toothpick inserted in center will come out with a few moist crumbs), about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Using foil, lift brownies from pan. Peel off foil. Using a serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.

Tips:

  • Stir in your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for added flavor and texture.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares, this will help them hold their shape.
