I fiddled with my favorite brownie recipe in an attempt to make it
a little healthier and I think I hit on an acceptable version. Trying to reduce both the fat and sugar and
improve the nutrition while maintaining flavor and texture can be tricky, but I
think this one turned out pretty good.
Healthier
Fudge Brownies
5 Tbs.
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbs.
instant coffee granules (optional)
2/3 cup
granulated sugar
1/3 cup
whole wheat flower
1/3 cup
all purpose flower
1 tsp.
baking powder
1/4
tsp. salt
2 large
eggs
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
In a
large bowl whisk together cocoa powder, instant coffee, sugar, flour, baking
powder and salt to combine well and break down any lumps in the cocoa
powder. Make a well in the center. Add eggs and oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until blended. Batter will be quite thick. Spread into a lightly oiled 8" square
baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350°
oven for 18 to 23 minutes. Cool and cut
into 12 squares.
I tried one with a scoop of light vanilla ice cream and a drizzle
of chocolate syrup and it was fantastic.
They are pretty good plain too.
