Low-Fat Fudge Brownies
« on: May 01, 2012, 07:51:36 am »
Name of Recipe: Low-Fat Fudge Brownies - adapted from Tasty Low-Fat Recipes by Family Circle
Number of People: 18 serves
Ingredients:
60g SRFlour
60g Plain flour
1 tsp bicarb soda
90g cocoa powder (I used cacao)
2 eggs
310g caster sugar (I only used 270g)
2 tsp vanilla essence (I used 1tsp as it's all I had)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
200g low-fat vanilla fromage fraiche (Fruche)
140g apple puree
icing sugar, for dusting

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 180c. Make caster sugar if you only have raw.
2. add eggs, vanilla, oil, fruche and puree to TMX bowl. Combine sp 4, 6 secs.
3. add sifted flours, bicarb and cocoa (I didn't bother sifting, just added it all - could mix it all together first and then set aside before step 1). Combine 20 secs, sp 5. Wipe down sides, 5 secs, sp 5.
4. Spread mixture into 30 x 20cm, lined pan. Bake for approx 30 minutes, or until skewer comes out clean.
5. Will sink in the middle while cooling. Leave in pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar and serve (or cut it up and then serve if you are sharing it it I guess...).


This was lovely and moist and I have put the left overs straight into the freezer for school lunches before anyone could go for seconds...

Can you use the words low fat and brownies in the same sentence? Must try this one, thanks for posting.  ;D ;D

I have to say that whilst I was adding the sugar and the oil I was thinking 'low fat???' but then I put in the apple sauce and DH reminded me of a previous recipe that had 2 cups of oil! So I guess the 'low' is in comparison - perhaps there should be an * with the accompanying 'get out of jail free' clause.
