Homemade "low calorie" Brownies

Friday, May 27, 2011

Everyone loves chocolate.  Everyone loves brownies.  And just because you are watching the calories/fat/sugar/etc — it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy something sweet.  And there are only 200 calories in one of these yummy brownies. 


    •    Nonstick cooking spray
    •    4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    •    2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
    •    1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
    •    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    •    1/2 cup light brown sugar
    •    2 large eggs
    •    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    •    1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
    •    1/4 teaspoon salt
    •    1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips
    •    1/2 cup butterscotch chips
    •    2 teaspoons 1% low-fat milk

Preheat oven to 325°. Lightly coat an 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Melt butter with chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove pan from heat, and stir in sour cream, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well-combined. Stir in flour, salt, and chocolate chips.




Pour batter into prepared pan; bake in middle of oven until a toothpick comes out clean (about 35 minutes).

Cool brownies in the pan. 

Melt butterscotch chips in a small pan over low heat, stirring (about 4 minutes). Add milk, and whisk until smooth. Pour butterscotch into a ziptop plastic bag; snip end off one of the bottom corners. Stack brownies; drizzle each stack with butterscotch.


Since this was my first time to make these and because they are low calorie, I wanted an honest opinion.  So, I made Terry a plate complete with ice cream and the verdict was — "deee-licious!!


Enjoy, y'all!!
