Note: The picture shows a brownie bite opened on a plate with a pudding like center oozing out. It won't be a typical brownie, thus the molten in the name. The inside is supposed to be like a pudding consistency.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BARS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE & ALMONDS
Serves 16


INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup SMUCKER'S SUGAR FREE jam (suggested: raspberry or strawberry)


1 (21-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge)


3 eggs ( 1 whole, 2 egg whites)


1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce


1/4 cup water


1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted


1/4 cup chopped salted almonds

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with fat free cooking spray.

In a small saucepan, stir the jam constantly over low heat until pourable, about 1 minute. Set aside.

In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, egg, egg whites, apple sauce, and water. Using an electric hand mixer beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the jam over the top of the brownie batter. Using a small spatula, swirl jam into the brownie batter. Bake for 27 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the pan comes out clean.

Spread with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with salted almonds. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.

Cut into 16 bars and store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.

RESULTS:

This recipe makes for a very simple, beautiful dessert. I couldn't get over how well it turned out! Although I have been eating and cooking lean for some time now, I still know what "real" desserts and other dishes taste like (Yes, I have my splurges. It's all about balance). And with that being said, I really couldn't see how anyone would be able to tell these bars were made with apple sauce instead of oil and sugar free jam instead of the real-deal. And let's not forget how we cut the cholesterol content of the eggs by using only one whole egg, but using just the whites from the other two. Yet, with all those changes, the turnout was still a delicious, semi-homemade dessert that is fit to satisfy every chocolate-lovin' sweet tooth.

ENJOY!

Have you tried the "No Pudge" brownie mix? I find it at Trader Joes.

Sadly no, because I do not have a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods Market within 100 miles!!!!

TonysMiss

oh man! I'll mail you some! haha
I think the others sound delicious as well but these are just so dang easy! Some nonfat vanilla yogurt is all that's needed.....if I remember right! Now, I'm going to have to go buy some! = )

ChassityGetsFit

I read a post here that said 1 box of chocolate cake mix, 1 can of pumpkin pie filling, and 2/3 cups of water. Bake in a cupcake tin according to instructions of the cake box! They swear you can't taste the pumpkin (I haven't tried it yet) but it's pretty true because pumkin isn't a strong flavor! I don't know the calories but the pumkin does add some veggie to your diet!

Chocolate Brownie With Raspberries and White Chocolate ChipsMake this "Cook Yourself Thin" recipe.


Serves 9
Calories per serving: 291

1 heaping cup fresh raspberries
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and finely grated
1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped into small chunks
1 cup ground almonds
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs (you could substitute egg beaters 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cocoa powder, for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Line the pan with parchment paper. A big square placed over the top is enough, if you then cut into each corner to make a neat pleat. It's also a good idea to dot a tiny bit of oil on the base and sides to help the paper stick down.

3. Add the eggs and sugar into a large bowl, and using a handheld or standing mixer, beat on medium-high speed 4 to 5 minutes, until pale, fluffy and quadrupled in size.

4. Add the grated butternut squash and the flour, ground almonds, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Beat until well incorporated. Pour half of this mixture into the prepared pan. Scatter the raspberries and chocolate chips over the top. Top with remaining batter.

5. Bake for 20 minutes until just cooked.

6. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes and garnish with sifted cocoa powder before serving.

2 large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 cup(s) whole-wheat pastry flour
6 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
2 tablespoon(s) canola oil

Directions

1.Preheat a nonstick (not Belgian) waffle iron.
2.Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa powder, oil and espresso powder (if using). Beat until thoroughly combined.
3.Drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the preheated ungreased waffle iron. (To avoid burnt fingers, use two spoons, one to scoop and one to scrape dough onto the waffle iron.) Close and cook until the cookies are puffed and cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Waffle irons vary, so watch closely and dont let the cookies get too dark. Transfer to a wire rack to cool until just warm. Dust the cookies with confectioners sugar while still slightly warm (see Variations). Variations: Instead of confectioners sugar, drizzle cooled cookies with melted bittersweet and/or white chocolate. Or make a peppermint drizzle: Mix 1 cup confectioners sugar, 4 teaspoons water and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract; add natural green food coloring, if desired.

Light hot chocolate (any flavour) no water. 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
100g plain flour
Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 whole egg
1 egg white

They are slightly chewy but doesn't make them taste any less yummy.
