Healthy Brownies Recipes

HEALTHIER BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in white sugar, eggs, applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until brownies are just set in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine 3 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and confectioner's sugar in a bowl; beat until smooth. Frost brownies while they are still warm.

HEALTHY LOW CALORIE BROWNIES

Steps:

• In a microwavable safe bowl add the honey
• Microwave 30-45 sec (or until liquid-y)
• Now add in the unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until combined
• Set that bowl aside and get out a larger bowl for your dry ingredients
• Add all dry ingredients to the bowl and combine well
• Set that bowl aside and bring back your honey mixture
• Add the rest of your wet ingredients to the honey mixture and mix until smooth and chocolatey
• Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine all of the ingredients until smooth
• In an 8x8 baking tray add your batter and bake at 350 degrees | 177 Celsius for around 25 minutes
• Cool in the tray for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling

AVOCADO BROWNIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper so that two sides overhang like handles. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, place the avocado, eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, butter, and vanilla. Process until it's completely smooth and combined, stopping to scrape down the bowl a few times as needed so that no chunks of avocado remain.
• To the food processor, add the cocoa powder, almond flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Process until smooth. Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips and pulse a few times so that the chips are roughly incorporated.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Place the pan on a wire cooling rack and let the brownies cool for 30 minutes. With the parchment paper handles, lift the brownies from the pan and place them on the rack to cool completely. If time allows, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. (I find that these taste their best and fudgiest the next day.) Slice and serve.

HEALTHY GREEK YOGURT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 325 degrees and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar and eggs.
• Place 4oz of the chocolate, and the oil, into a small, microwave safe bowl and microwave until smooth and melted, about 1 minute. Whisk into the egg mixture
• Whisk in the cocoa powder, cornstarch, soda and salt. Then, roughly chop the remaining chocolate and stir it in.
• Spread into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 22-23 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
• Immediately transfer into the fridge (I put them on a cooling pad) for 15 minutes. Then, remove and finish cooling on the counter completely.
• Slice and DEVOUR!
