Tip

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

They were quite tasty. Certainly easy to make and it gave just the right amount of chocolate "fix" without all fat.

They were okay but kind of bland. My husband ate one.

I substituted half the sugar with Splenda. It did NOT work well - and there was very little chocolate taste.

Made these and threw them out. They tasted blah!! I think they would have been better with a little salt added to them. Will not try again.

I tried this recipe using 1/2 C sugar and 1/2 C equivalent Fructose. I also omitted the nuts. They turned out so fudgy to the point of being rubbery. I will try again using 1 egg and 1 egg white...hopefully that will help??

RE: Fudgy Brownies

I'll make these again. I used Splenda for the sugar to help lower the calories even more. I did not have problems cooking them, in fact I coo9ked them a little less. Other than the taste being not a sweet as usual brownies, I found them great with a cup of coffee or tea. skaycolorado

Will not make again, taste ok but texture was gummy even though I baked it longer, hard to cut and eat.

found them to be a little dry. very chocolaty and not sweet. guess I'm just not used to this new taste. like that it is low in fat, though. family doesn't care for them and prefer a more sweeter taste.

Considering how low in fat these brownies are, they are pretty good. You certainly can't compare them to a decadant full-fat variety loaded with cholocate chips, but a viable alternative for those with dietary restrictions.
