How to Make Outrageously Healthy Deep Chocolate Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8x8x2 inch baking pan.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (170g) of dark unsweetened chocolate. Stir in 1/2 cup (118ml) oil (or oil substitute), 1 cup (200g) Splenda sugar blend, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, and 2 large eggs (or egg substitute equivalent).
  4. Stir the wet ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set properly.
