'Healthy'
brownies... could this be true!? Well, they might not be the healthiest
thing you could eat, they still have sugar in them along with some
decadent dark chocolate BUT they most definitely are better for you than
a traditional brownie which is laden with butter, various types of
chocolate and sugar... for all you health nuts out there these are about
100 calories per square when you cut the slice into 16. Enjoy....in
moderation of course :)
Ingredients
2/3cup cocoa powder (good quality!)
2/3cup caster sugar
2/3cup caster sugar
1/3cup dessicated coconut
2 tbsp vegetable oil
140g snack tub of apple puree
1 egg, at room temp
2 egg whites, at room temp
1tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain flour (you can use wholemeal if you like but be aware of the change in flavour that comes with it!)

1 egg, at room temp

1tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain flour (you can use wholemeal if you like but be aware of the change in flavour that comes with it!)
1/2tsp baking powder
50g cadbury 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan forced)
- Grease and line a 20cm square tin
- Sift cocoa into a medium size bowl
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, egg whites, oil, puree, and extract then stir this into the cocoa
- Sift flour and baking powder over the cocoa mix and gently fold in
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 15minutes. These are best when the brownie is still a bit fudgy, don't let it dry it!
- Cool for 5 minutes in the tin then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut into 16 squares and store in an airtight container- they will keep for a few days :)
