Chocolate Brownies ~ Totally Fat Free!

How would you feel making a brownie that doesn’t have a single drop of butter or oil in it? Surprised? Me too!!! One time, as I sat and did my favorite pastime – flipping through my scrap book, I came across this recipe. I read and re-read, and then re-read it again. No butter? No oil? Really? I thought maybe there is an error in the ingredients, so I checked the method and there was no mention of any fat, apart from using a tbsp of butter to grease the pan. I avoided that and used oil to grease the pan. From the time I was whisking the ingredients till the brownie came off the oven, I was really apprehensive. But when I saw those beautiful layer on top, that’s it, yippee!!! This is one of the best brownies I have ever made for sure. Did you know that for a brownie, the method of checking the done-ness is the layer or the cracks on the top and not a skewer coming out clean? As the brownie sits and cools down, it starts to thicken or harden to our liking, till then it will be squishy. Just make sure that the top is cooked and ensure that you cool the brownie completely – I said, completely. You can see that little mistake I made of not cooling it completely in my Horlicks brownies, though who complains? I really don’t mind licking my fingers once I finish eating, but doesn’t look nice to everybody, right? Hehe… Without delaying much, off to the recipe…

 

End notes: I baked this at night, left it in my oven to cool, picked it up and came directly to office. I even carried my camera with me! As I cut, I couldn’t hide my excitement. My colleagues were like, why do you have the camera with you? That is when they saw the brownie. I just bought one piece each for the kids, B and HD back home and the remaining was finished by my colleagues. The pictures were clicked in the office – I hope nobody reads this… hehe… anyway, whatever said and done, awesome looking brownies, isn’t it? 🙂 And it tasted amazing as well… 🙂
