    For those followers who are really into numbers and nutritional data I ran the recipe through a nutritional analysis and came up with a slightly different number... 52.5 calories each if cut into 9 small squares. Being predisposition for diabetes, I run this analysis on most recipes to get the sugar counts.

    Bottom line is most people don't need or want to be so precise with the numbers... AND THIS SNACK RECEIVED AN A- RATING. Can't do much better than A-... enjoy!

    Nutrition Facts
    Serving Size 371 g
    Amount Per Serving 1
    Calories: 473 (52.555 per serving when cut into 9 squares)
    Calories from Fat: 122

    % Daily Value*
    Total Fat: 13.5g (21%)
    Saturated Fat: 5.2g (26%)
    Trans Fat: 0.0g
    Cholesterol: 165mg (55%)
    Sodium: 326mg (14%)
    Potassium: 2007mg (57%)
    Total Carbohydrates: 68.0g (23%)
    Dietary Fiber: 17.9g (72%)
    Sugars: 11.8g
    Protein: 39.6g
    Vitamin A 7% • Vitamin C 1%
    Calcium 57% • Iron 59%
    Nutrition Grade A-
    * Based on a 2000 calorie diet
    so i can eat the whole pan for the same calories and less fat than a snacksize peanut butter cup mcflurry,which was my cheat last week. Not that i would, well maybe if it was one of those kinda days.

    I see the other recipe has nuts in it also. I have always used the one that I posted..

    True, but the 100-calorie figure wasn't counting the nuts:

    "M's recipe comes out at exactly 100 calories per brownie, but I added chopped pecans to mine which raises them to 170… still ridiculously low for a brownie."

    Didn't know if you saw this.... So not really 100 calories like you stated. Hope you like them

    Hmmm .......just trying to figure out what your point is.. The recipe that I posted has slightly different ingredients in it so yes it is less than the original from the site you looked at.. If you want to try that one ... Go for it and have your 100 calorie brownie... Enjoy either way:drinker:

    I just made some and they are tasty! I didn't add as much stevia and they are sweet. I will adjust this amount down to make them less sweet.

    I input the recipe and based on my brand of ingredients, the calories were 47.

    Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing.

    My fault for apparently doing a poor job explaining.

    I suppose my point is that the brownies from the "original" recipe are said to have 100 calories each when you omit the nuts. The brownies from the "changed" recipe are said to have 37 calories.

    Which is fine. You're right that two different recipes will have two different calorie counts. But... the differences in ingredients between the two recipes seem VERY slight to me. These aren't entirely different recipies--they're almost identical.

    So I appeal to the experienced recipe-tweakers here: Where is the savings coming from? These calorie-saving tricks are exactly the sorts of things I'd love to learn more of.

    Is the difference in calories between 3/4 cup of low-fat yogurt and 3/4 cup of non-fat greek yogurt really that big? Are regular Quaker Oats different from "wholegrain rolled oats"?

    I guess the question is why do you keep referring to the original recipe when people have been very kind to say exactly what is in this one????. Don't get it. Is it that important when it is such a negligible difference. I can understand if it were a couple hundred calories, but like I stated earlier don't understand why it is soooooo important. Not being rude. Just sayin.....

    Oh well. Not the first time someone hasn't "gotten" me. Probably not the last! :tongue:

    Tried them yesterday, and I counted 54cals per serving too. But, who cares? They are really good!

    I added nougatine and chocolate chips to a second batch and it totalled 120 cals per serving, but frankly, the texture is so amazingly gooey that this number is still ridiculously low for a brownie that good!

    I was really sceptical about baking with stevia, but this brownie changed my mind!

    Did I do something wrong? I made these and they were unbearable. I didn't have Stevia so I used Splenda, which always tastes OK when I use it in other desserts such as banana bread, pumpkin pie, pudding, etc. The other parts of the recipe I followed to a T.

    i've been making these : http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/06/10/skinny-peanut-butter-swirl-brownies/

    Obviously they're higher in calories cos of the peanut butter but still yummy and healthy. I switched the sugar for honey too.

    made a batch yesterday certainly did not taste like 50ish calories.. I was thoroughly impressed.. since its the 4th today I will be adding vanilla ice cream on top of these another win into the equation.
