How to Make Low Fat Whole Wheat Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the oil and vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (don't overbake!).
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
