Introduction

Remember how delicious Mom's brownies were? You can duplicate the taste for a fraction of the fat if you substitute cocoa for bittersweet chocolate and use applesauce in place of some of the butter or oil.

    Yum! You'd never know these were low-fat! I baked them in an 8x8 pan and cut into 16 servings. So that made them 54 calories and .5 gr fat each. Some whipped cream would be so good on these. Next time I'm doubling the recipe and making them in a 9x13 pan. - 4/20/09

    I agree, these have more of a cake consistency. I added about 2Tbsp of instant coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor. It's a great base for anything, sugarfree jelly, peanut butter, etc. Thanks for sharing - 4/20/09

    They weren't chewy like the description said, but they were great. For the calories and fat it is worth it. I will add a little more cocoa powder next time but these were really good. They are light and fluffy, more like a cake then a brownie. - 4/5/09
