Chocolate Chip Low Fat Brownies recipe

chocolate chip brownie jpg These brownies are completely decadent thanks to the scrumptious chocolate chips and cocoa. However, they are almost guilt free, since there is very little fat - we are using egg whites, apple sauce instead of butter or oil and skim milk. If you select darker chocolate chips and unsweetened cocoa, it's even more guilt free. Sweet, chocolatey and easy on the calories - what could be better?

Makes 8 large brownies.

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. Whisk 3 egg whites.

2. Add apple sauce and vanilla. Stir well.

3. Combine dry ingredients - flour, cocoa, chocolate chips, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

4. Slowly stir dry ingredients into the chocolate batter and mix well.

5. Heat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a small cake pan (8x11). Pour the batter into the pan

Cuisinart 40-oz. Duet Blender/Food Processor, Chrome

Cuisinart skillfully combines a blender with a small food processor without sacrificing the performance or features of either one.

The 40-ounce glass blender jar whirs at the touch of one of 7 speeds, including a special ice crush setting and pulse.To slice or shred vegetables or fruit, simply remove the blender, replace it with the 3-cup work bowl, collar and cover, and you're off! Even tough jobs like grinding beef cubes or grating Parmesan cheese are a breeze. A chopping blade and reversible slicing/shredding disc are included. The food processor's unique design lets you position the handle and feed tube facing front, side or rear, handy whether you're right or lefthanded. Extra amenities include indicator lights so you know what functions in operation, a hidden cord storage, dripless pouring spout and a feed tube pusher with a built-in liquid dispenser. It's a 2-in-1 appliance worth it's weight in dozens of meals.

Latest Mom Inspiration

from Allen Klein, Mr. Jollytologist:

My mom lived to be over 95-years-old. Did she exercise everyday? Not really. Although we did live in a fifth-floor walk-up apartment, so some days she did get a workout on the stairs. Did she live a healthy lifestyle? No. We put chicken fat on our bread, had meat at least five times a week and ate mostly canned, not fresh, vegetables. In addition, my Mom smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. Did she have a great sense of humor? Yes. And I’m convinced it kept her going all those years. For example, Every time she went to the doctor, she hired a van service to take her there and back. One late afternoon, when she was in the doctor’s office, her ride didn't show up to take her home. Since the doctor had to close the office, the receptionist suggested that my Mom wait for the van in the pizza parlor downstairs. After waiting a long time, the van still didn't show up. So my Mom went up to the guy behind the counter and asked, "Do you deliver?" The man replied, "Of course, lady, we’re a pizza place!" "Great," my Mom said, "I’d like a pepperoni pizza and I’d like to go with it."
PS- Mom is gone but her humor lives on. She inspired me teach others about the therapeutic value of humor in both my books and my keynote speeches.
