Did this come from a website?????? The reason I asked is it looks like the 37 calorie brownie that was posted from a website...
I've never tried a 37 calorie brownie, how do they cut the extra 3 calories out? Do they cut out the egg? Which website did you see it on because now I want to see what tricks they use! lol

Was on the recipe board today, just scroll down... Looks like the same recipe.. Very yummy also
Cool, looks like someone else simply substituted the flour for oatmeal. This is just the basic brownie recipe minus the flour. Their's is very similar to mine (although i put coconut in mine.) so I cannot figure out how their's is only 37 calories but mine is 40 (not counting the coconut) ... hmmm I posted this a few days ago, so if it was just posted today, then they must have seen mine. lol I just wish they had of said how they cut out the extra calories...
No, the 37 calorie brownie was posted I believe 2 weeks ago.. This came from a website, as I believe yours did also
OP said she came up with the recipe and it did not come from a website. So why keep pushing this point?
OP, I really don't think the extra three calories will make a significant difference in the long run so I wouldn't worry about it too much lol.0 -

Oh, this looks good! I'll have to see if I can make a no-lactose version somehow, though...0

Yeah, I've made several batches of these brownies already based on the 37 calorie brownie recipe that was posted a few weeks ago. Mine aren't 37 calories a piece because I switch out some of the original ingredients and add chocolate chips (making them closer to 100 cals a brownie), but it seems to be the same recipe that's been posted in this thread, and it's a very delicious recipe that my whole family loves.0 -
These sound great i will try them, nice thing is i'm going to a friends and we are doing afternoon tea, i was going to take myself a quest bar so i didn't eat cakes, i will make some of these and take and will have just one myself.
Thanks for sharing0 -
Thanks to the OP. Probably one of the most edible low cal looking recipes I've seen on MFP. I'm going to give this a try!

Because it is almost exactly the same recipe, that's why.. The first recipe came from a website, that was posted.. We are supposed to acknowledge the site taken from.. Part of the rules here. Just trying to do what is correct.. Don't want to come off as pushy, but I was given warnings by other posters here when I did not when I first started posted recipes here... That's why.Did this come from a website?????? The reason I asked is it looks like the 37 calorie brownie that was posted from a website...

I only just joined this site and have NOT stolen any one else's recipes! All i did was take my regular brownie recipe, took away the flour and butter, and add oatmeal, coconut, PC sugar replacer and Nosalt. I apologize that someone else thought up a recipe that's similar, but I'm not psychic and there's only so many healthy ingredient combinations for brownies. If you're that concerned about it, make a double batch and therefore the ingredient amounts are different. Just cut ti into 18 pieces instead of 9 and the calories will be the same.
1 cup Quaker rolled oats (i use instant)
1 cup No Calorie Sweetener (i use pc sugar replacer)
1 1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt (i use coconut flavoured)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup cocoa powder
2 egg
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp shredded sweetened coconut
Now there's no similarity at all. It seemed to be the single batch that was throwing you off.0 -
I am going to make these0

Sounds delicious. I'm giving this a try this weekend.0

I've tried a similar recipe that I found online. My brownies didn't turn out as well, and had a weird gooey texture. Didn't seem like the brownies rose very well but that was probably due to something I did wrong.
I'm going to try a low calorie brownie recipe from scratch again soon. I will be using applesauce instead though I use applesauce in all my muffin and brownie recipes, or substitute applesauce for butter or oil. Applesauce tends to substitute better for oil, but can work for butter recipes sometimes.
I've never tried rolled oats in recipes!
Lowest calories I've been able to get brownies down to are around 60 kcal, and those were little easter bunny shapes I have a brownie mold and you can make 24 bunny shaped brownies.0 -
not 40 calories0

Sounds awesome! I will be making these!0

Don't have yogurt, but could sour cream be substituted in its place?
I've never tried sour cream in this recipe, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!
I've made something similar with cottage cheese and it works too
I'd eat the whole pan though....hey only 360 calories at least lol0 -

Applesauce! I've never tried that!!! I left out the butter completely out of this recipe so on my next batch, I'll definitely try it! Thanks for sharing!0 -

not 40 calories
It IS 40 Calories. I entered it myself in the recipe creator here on the site. If figured out the calories and all the nutritional info. If you add anything else to the recipe, it ups the calories. (i add coconut to mine which ups the calories)0 -
I'm sad to say that I made this and it tasted disgusting. Absolutely did not taste like a brownie at all. Went straight into the trash. I am mad that I wasted so much cocoa powder and sweetener on this recipe. I had such high hopes, but it was an epic fail.0

Saved for later.
Hope it's good!0 -

I've read a lot of people also thought these were nasty. I think it was from the bromabakery website?0
