Ingredients:
1/3 cup prune puree (see note below) |
1/4 cup skim milk |
1 tablespoon instant coffee or 1 tablespoon espresso granules |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 1/3 cups unsweetened cocoa |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups sugar |
6 egg whites |
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Combine the first 5 ingredients; stir well, and set aside. Combine cocoa and next 4 ingredients (cocoa through salt); stir well, and set aside.
3. Combine sugar and egg whites in a large bowl; beat at high speed of a mixer 3 minutes or until mixture resembles marshmallow creme. Add Prune Puree mixture; beat at low speed until well-blended.
4. Sprinkle flour mixture over egg white mixture, and fold in gently. Fold in chocolate morsels. Spread batter evenly into a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray.
5. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes or until brownies spring back when touched lightly in center. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
6. Makes 35 brownies. I suggest enjoying them with a big glass of skim milk!
7. Note: To make prune puree, combine 1-1/3 cups (8 oz.) pitted prunes and 6 T water in the container of a food processor. Pulse on and off until prunes are finely chopped. Makes 1 cup.
