Can someone re-post this recipe? I am in the middle of a major kitchen renovation and all my cookbooks are packed away.

I tried doing a "search" and nothing came up. I'm pretty sure I got it from this site.

I recall it contained cocoa power, applesauce, 3 egg whites, as part of the ingredients. I remember they were l point and about 80-90 calories.

THANKS! Wanted to add them to the holiday buffet (which I am helping to cook at my friend's -- since I am kitchenless!)

Dear JaneStar/Goldie:

Thanks for the quick response. The one I used to make didn't include oat bran, but I'll try this one. Thanks!

Better-For-You Brownies, Jodified

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 points

1-113 gram jar Heinz Simple Goodness Prunes with Pears (this is baby food, or plain pureed prunes work too) 1

1/2 cup boiling water 0

1 teaspoon coffee grounds (instant or regular) 0

2/3 cup whole wheat flour 4

1/2 teaspoon baking powder 0

1/4 teaspoon salt 0

1 large egg 2

1 large egg white 0

1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar 17

2 tablespoons oil 6

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 0

Total Points 32
/ 16 brownies = 2

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 9" square baking pan with cooking spray.

In medium bowl, combine cocoa, baby food, coffee and boiling water. Stir until cocoa is dissolved. Let stand until completely cool, about 10 minutes. (Have any of you ever been too impatient for instructions like this? I have. Hot ingredients cook the eggs. )

Combine flour, baking powder and salt.

Scrape cooled cocoa mix into blender or food processor. Add egg, egg white, all but 2 tablespoons of the sugar, oil and vanilla. Process until smooth. (I don't know if this is really necessary - you may be able to mix it well enough by hand.) Add to flour mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. (This gives it a nice crust.) Bake until brownies are firm around the edges and just set in centre, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cut into 16 squares. Enjoy! I love these, they are moist, chocolate-y, and satisfying. I have done a million versions of these, trying to perfect them, so if you run into any problems (or an improvement!) please let me know.

If you are vegan or just want to avoid the eggs, grind 2 tablespoons flaxseed to a coarse powder in a blender or food processor. Add 1/3 cup water and blend until mixture is viscous, scraping the sides as you go. This replaces the egg, the rest of the recipe the same.

Heavily modified from a recipe in Vegetarian Times, January 2000. (I highly recommend this magazine and Veggie Life for great low-point, high-flavor food! Even if you're not Veggie! )

Thanks Jodi!
I was thinking, if you eliminated the sugar and used Splenda instead, total points ould be 15. That would be a way to cut them down to a point each. Dunno if it would compromise the flavor compared to the real sugar though. Well, thanks again! They sound yummy!

[cub77cub]

Splenda doesn't taste any different than sugar..IMHO!!!! I've been substituting it in everything and the taste is great! Michele

[SueC]

Runner - thanks for posting this recipe !

Sunrise - Just so you know, Splenda is NOT calorie-free. It does significantly reduce calories. It weighs in at 96 calories a cup. So instead of counting 17 points for the cup of sugar, we'd have to count 2. A great improvement in the point count, but sadly, we still have to count it.

Sorry for being a fuss-budget.

[New-Me]

Thanks so much Jodi. Will try these soon!!

Annette

[Frieda Wallace]

Can someone here tell me where to find
Splenda? Please don't tell me I have to go
to Canada!

[New-Me]

Freida

You can order splenda, which I did yesterday and got an e-mail saying it had been shipped today. Great service!! Am anxious to try it.
None of the stores around here have heard of it so for me it was the only way to go.

I made these brownies tonight and I have to tell you, they are wonderful! One small glitch, I used plums instead of prunes. I bought the wrong one type of baby food. Also, I am far too lazy to use a food processor and they turned out beautifully. Well worth the effort and the points!

[runner]

Race-Ya!

So glad you tried the recipe. And as for the plums instead of prunes, that just shows that there are many more options for this recipe than I thought! Glad you found one more. I've heard of people using baby-food jars of pureed sweet potatoes too, though I haven't tried that yet!
