Low calorie/fat chocolate brownies

Sorry I think all brownies are rather high in calories more so if you include nuts. I often half the sugar in cake recipes without any discernible difference apart from the sweetness I don't know if you can do that with brownies. How about doing some biscuits instead? If they are active girls I would still give them an occasional treat like this and they do tend to be quite filling so perhaps they wont want so much of anything else????

This brownies recipe on Gransnet is delicious. (You have to scroll down a bit).

I had problems scrolling down beyond full English breakfast for 230 cals!

It is one of the joys of low-carbing that you can have full English breakfast (apart from the bread).

Those pear and chocolate brownies are ??

I make them often and my GDs love them too

I wonder if you could substitute apple sauce for sugar? Brownies are supposed to be gooey.
And cocoa for the chocolate? Cornflour for wheat flour?
Experiment with small quantities.

There is no sugar in those brownies * Tricia* any sweetness comes from a few dates . And the chocolate is 80% if possible. They are quite gooey though

I might try that recipe instead of my usual banana walnut brownies. I was going to make them for visitors on Sunday, but one has gone dairy free, so probably wouldn't be able to eat anything with butter in it. I have some coconut oil, but have never used it. Just how gooey are they?

I just looked at the recipe [blush) - it's really veggie!
I hardly dare try it.
I make the normal fattening kind but do half the sugar and fat (veg. margarine)
