This afternoon, I was getting ready to melt a stick of butter to make brownies and decided to check online for other alternatives.I was thrilled to find recipes that make these sinful treats guilt-free since I polished off the fudgy brownies I had baked last week (with some help from the bf) and had brownies again last Sunday while watching Game of Thrones.
I do need that kind of gratification knowing that George Martin kills off characters when you least expect it. It’s also a good excuse for brownies even if I’ve read the books and know what’s about to happen 😉
Here’s my take on Easy Healthy Brownies, modified from the “No Pudge Brownie Clone Recipe“
The recipe calls for 1 cup sugar and 2 egg whites but instead I used 1/2 cup of honey 1/2 cup of sugar and one egg instead of two egg whites.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsps cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
2/3 cup low fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup honey
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix all dry ingredients
Add yogurt, egg, and honey
Fold/Mix well
Grease 8×8 baking dish lightly
Evenly Spread batter in baking dish
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes

The brownies turned out delicious! The texture is cake like and springy but it’s super moist. This “healthy brownie” recipe is a good alternative for those avoiding butter.
Enjoy!
