Between New Year's resolutions to eat healthier, a Biggest Loser competition at my husband's work and my pregnant body craving chocolaty goodness, brownies have never been craved more around here!
I decided to go a less fattening route if I was going to make brownies and these hit the spot! They weren't as sweet as your regular brownie but you definitely don't feel nearly as guilty about eating one... or a few!

Oh, I love this, low fat dessert! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! We definitely love want to start eating healthier and DEFINITELY love our sweets around here. This will be a perfect night time treat! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look fudgy and delicious. I am on the hunt for good dessert recipes for my husband, who does WW. This is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI used light margarine since I'm off dairy at the moment and baked them in a mini muffin pan with liners. Nice little bite og chocolate to help with cravings. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so perfect, I just printed it off!!! My little boy can't have wheat so I'll have to modify it, but I think it will be easy since it only has 1/2 C flour. Thanks for the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! Just pinned them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. Trying to lose 85 lbs and every little bit will help:)
ReplyDeleteThese look great and I love that it's low fat and weight watchers!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for a delicious recipe and for calculating the points plus values!! (Shared on my blog here: http://seektobemerry.blogspot.com/2012/05/hump-day-distractions-beach-bum-ed.html)
ReplyDeleteWish me luck...I just quadrupled this recipe so I could feed 2 families this for dessert tonight. Not sure how long to bake them now. LOL I'm starting out at the 20 mins and adding 5 mins after that then checking & so on. It went into a 9x13 real well. They smell so good!
ReplyDeleteJust made these with coconut oil instead of margarine. Whoa, baby...so good!
ReplyDeleteCannot do nuts, What would the point value be without the nuts?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. The recipe only calls for 2 Tablespoons. So however many points 2 Tablespoons of walnuts equals.
