Low Fat Coffee Brownies

You’ll never miss the fat in these intense brownies!
The coffee make them sophisticated and the prunes make them deliciously sweet, yet not at all "pruney” - honest, they’re delish! 
We used a spray-on oil on the pan that’s a good technique for cutting down fat versus greasing a pan with margarine or butter. A better idea is using parchment paper or silicone mats; absolutely no fat needed at all and the reuseable silicone mats clean up easily and the parchment paper is easily disposed of.

This recipe makes 16 discreet little squares or 8 big yummy ones.

Low Fat Coffee Brownies Ingredients: 
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
4 ounces prune baby food 
3 egg whites 
1 cup sugar or equivalent of Splenda® 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon coffee, brewed strong 
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat an 8” square baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper or a silicone mat. 
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and blend thoroughly. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake feels springy to the touch. 
Cool the pan on a rack, then cut into squares.
