So, I just bought Roco Dispirito's new cook book called, "Now Eat This!" I love love love it! It's all about comfort foods and making them less in calories. For instance, instead of using whole cream, it may use Greek yogurt. Below is a recipe for BROWNIES that are 52 calories!! YUM!
Calories BEFORE: 1,500, AFTER: 53...Fat BEFORE: 70g, AFTER: 1.6g, Fiber: 3g
Ingredients: nonstick cooking spray, 1 1/2 c. canned black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 TBS espresso powder, 3/4 c. egg substitute, 2 TBS low-calorie sugar free chocolate syrup (Walden Farms), 2 TBS reduced fat sour cream, 1 TBS unsalted butter (melted), 24 packets (84 g) Truvia or 8 tablespoons granulated Splenda, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350, spray 8x8 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine the beans, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and egg substitute in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth (about 2 min) and scrape down the bowl halfway through.
Add choc syrup, sour cream, butter, Truvia, and vanilla. Process until all ingredients are combined (1 min.)
Pour the batter into the baking dish, smooth top, bake for 28-30 min (turn dish halfway through). Toothpick will come out clean with soft batter clinging to it.
Let brownies cool completely in backing dish on a wire rack. Then cut into 12 squares and serve. Refrigerate leftovers.

Hey, can you tell me how you put the slide show on here? I want to do that for the church website.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I saw the sour cream and ranch dip thing. To make it even healthier use fat-free sour cream or plain yogurt. You could use plain, Greek yogurt too. Just an idea...
