1990s blog: Irresistible Low-Fat Chocolate Brownies

Posted on by

1990s note: This recipe was on a can of sweetened condensed milk, ages ago. These are great! No one will know that they are low-fat.

Today: This is (still) my “go-to” recipe when I want something very chocolatey but also calorie controlled. For instance, on a Valentine’s Day, I baked these in small heart-shaped pans (lined with parchment). To serve, I drizzled each plate with chocolate syrup, added the heart-shaped brownie, dusted with powdered sugar, spooned on a little low-fat topping, and garnished with fresh sliced strawberries and mint leaves. Elegant, chocolatey, and not too many calories.

  • 1/4 cup flour
