How to Make Almost Fat Free Fudge Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Avoid burning!
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add 1/2 cup (113g) plain nonfat yogurt and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar to the melted chocolate. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture, along with 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional). Stir until just combined.
- Add 1/4 cup (60ml) water and stir until the batter is smooth and consistent.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
