ATK Low Fat Brownies

by

I saw America’s Test Kitchen Low Fat Brownies recipe in the Dallas Morning News and am linking to it for future reference. Has anybody tried these? I’ve had some good low fat brownies, but enough bad ones to make me extra cautious. Update:  The recipe is now free on America’s Test Kitchen “The Feed”.  If you don’t wish to login, here’s a modified version.

Recipe Notes

I finally got around to making these. They’re good, but don’t try to use Swerve in place of the sugar or they will be too dry. Allulose might work okay, but avoid erythritol. Make sure to measure the flour with a light hand.

Servings 12

Ingredients

 

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (100 grams)
  • ⅓ cup Dutch process cocoa powder (35 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped (56 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 grams)
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream (30 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the inside of an 8 inch square metal pan with nonstick foil.
  • Mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together; set aside.
  • In a large saucepan set over medium low heat, carefully melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring often so that you don’t scorch the chocolate. Alternatively, you may do this in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over simmering water.
  • Remove chocolate from heat and let cool for 3 minutes. Stir in the sour cream, syrup and vanilla, followed by the egg and egg white and sugar.
  • With a heavy duty scraper, fold in the flour mixture.
  • Transfer mixture to the pan and spread it flat. Bake on center rack for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let brownies cool completely in pan set on a wire rack. Using foil as a handle, lift from pan and cut into squares
