Brownies, Brownies, Good for Your Heart
Remember when I posted that Rocco DiSpirito has concocted a 43-calorie brownie? Well, he apparently fudged (ha!) the calories a bit. Here's the recipe for his 53-calorie brownies, courtesy of Good Morning America. Note the special ingredients....
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, turning the dish halfway through the baking time. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out with soft batter clinging to it.
Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Then cut into 12 squares and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
