When you think of healthy foods, items such as brownies are not often at the top of the list. They don't have to be bad for you if you change your recipe to include items that are healthier for you. Use yogurt or fruit puree instead of most of the margarine or butter, add a healthier variety of oil, use whole wheat flour and add dark chocolate to the mix for its antioxidant benefits. With these steps you can indulge your craving for brownies in a way that doesn't ruin your diet for the year.
Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat your 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray so the brownies don't stick. Place 8 oz. of chopped dark chocolate and 2 tbsp. of butter in a small bowl in the microwave on medium heat until just melted.
Place the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and whisk together. This includes 1 cup of whole grain pastry flour, 1/4 cup of unsweetened natural cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp. of salt and 1/4 tsp. of baking soda.
Whisk four eggs and 1 cup of packed light brown sugar in a large bowl until they have a smooth consistency. Place 1/2 cup of plain low-fat yogurt or applesauce, 1/4 cup of safflower oil and 2 tsp. of vanilla extract in the bowl and whisk until smooth.
Add the chocolate mixture to the large bowl and stir until blended well. Stir the flour mixture into the large bowl until it is moist. The mixture does not need to be lump-free.
Pour the mixture into the pan. Place nuts over the top if desired. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes. The brownies are done when you can stick a fork in the middle and it comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
