Low-Fat One-Bite Brownies

Posted February 1, 2006 – 9:32 pm in: Baking, Cookies, Diet

Lynette has posted a delicious looking recipe for low-fat Chocolate Espresso Cookies that I have placed high on my baking to-do list.

One of my favourite low-fat chocolate treats is the One-Bite Brownie recipe from Julie Van Rosendaal’s recipe book Grazing. A single brownie comes in at 85 calories and 2.1 grams of fat. The big problem with these beauties is sticking to one “bite”.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F
  2. In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar until well combined. Add egg, egg whites, vanilla and coffee and stir until well blended and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add to the egg mixture and stir by hand until just combined.
  4. Spoon into mini-muffin cups that have been sprayed with non-stick spray.
  5. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until puffed up, but still soft to touch. Do not over bake!
  6. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Makes a dozen or so brownies.
