Yes ladies and gents you heard it right. A healthy version of one of my favorite desserts, Chocolate Brownies! I am constantly searching for healthier versions of my favorite desserts because lets me honest here, I would rather eat sweets for breakfast lunch and dinner..thanks mom for my sweet tooth. I hope you all enjoy this recipe and I am so excited to share it with you all because they are that good! It also doesn't hurt that these babies are only 130 calories each! WHAT?!
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 cup PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- Cooking spray
- 9 x 9 baking pan
What to do:
1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F
2. Beat your one large egg and egg white in a small bowl with a whisk and set aside.
3. Grab a large bowl and combine your next 4 ingredients and stir well.
4. Add in your egg mixture and stir well.
5. Add in your next 3 ingredients and stir well.
6. Fold in your chocolate chips with a spatula.
7. Spray your pan and pour brownie mixture into your pan.
Cook for 30 minutes, or until a clean knife is inserted and comes out clean.
These are SO GOOD and they have the perfect texture, and that well known "soft spongy" feeling that my mom and I know all too well (hehe). 30 minutes was the perfect time for them to cook, and I don't know if you can see but the chocolate chips were the perfect added ingredients that made the brownies that much richer. As you can see from the ingredients, there is no processed sugar and instead of regular all purpose flour I used the PB2 which is commonly used as a peanut butter substitute because it is way more healthy than regular peanut butter. It comes in a powder form and all you have to do is add equal parts water to the powdered peanut butter and it turns into peanut butter and tastes exactly like the regular version! The coca powder in this recipe makes it have the rich chocolate taste and the raw honey gives it the sweetness it needs along with the chocolate chips. Also there is no oil used in this recipe which cuts out a lot of your unhealthy fats.
