i found a recipe for mug brownies, but i counted the calories and there was over 400 for a four bite treat. so i played around in the kitchen and managed to cut the calories in half, with out loosing TOO much of the brownie goodness.
now im not much of an artificial sweetener type girl. if something needs to be sweet im just going to use sugar.. but i did play around with spenda. im not sure how other things cook, but spenda didnt turn out too shaby.
here it goes. 250 calories
1/4 cup oatmeal flower
2TBS spenda - i used the plus fiber kind (or 1/4 cup and omit the white sugar, lowers the calories to 177. but i thought it tasted funny
2TBS sugar
1 TBS canola oil
2TBS water
2TBS coco powder
pinch of salt and a drop af vanilla extract
mix it all up in a coffee cup, microwave for 1 minute 50 seconds
and have at it
no it doesnt have the chewy texture that oven brownies have its actually more cake like. but it is pretty good
