I’ve got a horrid sweet tooth, but here’s a dessert recipe lower in calories than a lot of “skinny” barely sweet apple and cinnamon recipes. I will include the brownie mix and recipe both just in case u’re looking for either + compare it to other low cal alternatives!
Brownie Mix (can use right away in a 13x9 pan or store away in a ziploc bag):
½ cup Truvia baking blend (190 cals)
½ cup flour (200 cals, depending on mix)
½ cup cocoa powder (98 cals)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Total mix calories: 488 cals
Calories for 1/20 of the mix (how most generic brands calculate calories): 24.4 cals
How does it compare?
Entire Mix:
mix above: 488 cals
sugar free boxed mix: 1080 cals
regular boxed mix: 2000 cals
Calories for 1/20 of the mix (generic brands calculate calories):
mix above: 24.4 cals
sugar free boxed mix: 54 cals
regular boxed mix: 100 cals
How to bake for even more calorie saving:
use ¼ cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt (if a recipe calls for ½ cup oil, substitute with half cup Greek yogurt)
use 1-2 egg whites (more egg = more cakey)
OR
use ¼ cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt for each egg
OR
¼ cup skim milk for each egg
Bake in a greased 13x9 pan (use the spray!) or glass pan at 350 degrees for 20-30 min (if you like yours gooey don’t keep it in for the whole 30 min)
How does it compare?
Entire baked pan:
mix above with low cal substitutions: 537-550 cals
sugar free mix following box directions: 1680 cals
regular mix following box directions: 3200 cals
Calories for 1/20th of the pan (generic serving sized most commonly used):
mix above with low cal substitutions: 26.85-27.5 cals
sugar free mix following box directions: 84 cals
regular mix following box directions: 160 cals
I hope you guys enjoy! ( you can eat half a pan and still be under 300 cals!)
(side note: there’s a post going around that says if you substitute all added ingredients in a boxed brownie mix with Greek yogurt the entire pan would be equal to 210 calories but it’s very false!!!!! A regular generic pan would still exceed 2000 cals even when Greek yogurt is used).
It’s only ten days, what do you have to lose …. other than ten pounds?
