Notes
* Plain or All-purpose flour - This recipe calls for plain or all-purpose flour. For a gluten free alternative, you can use gluten free flour or oat flour.
*Stevia or 0 calorie granulated sweetener - Stevia is the perfect 0 calorie sugar alternative. It is naturally sourced and tastes delicious! If you don't have Stevia, you can use 75g of regular sugar.
*Unsweetened almond milk - Unsweetened almond milk is very low in calories! You can use any milk you would like for this recipe, but the calories will increase! (it will be such a small increase though so don't worry about it!!).
*Dark chocolate chips - To tie everything together, add in your favorite chocolate chips! Although this recipe calls for dark chocolate, feel free to use milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or any chocolate you love!
Tips!
- Try not to over mix the batter - One thing I have found with this recipe is that it is more cake-like in texture if you over mix the batter. There is nothing wrong with that at all, they're still just as delicious! But if you're wanting more of a dense or fudgy brownie, try to mix the batter just enough so everything is combined without overdoing it!
- Give the brownies time to cool - It can be tempting to slice into these cookies straight out of the oven but it's best to give them a few minutes to firm up and cool. They'll be more dense and less likely to fall apart once slightly cooled! I find that 25-30 minutes is the perfect amount of time to allow the brownies to cool.
- Mix in some white chocolate - I love love LOVE adding white chocolate to my brownies! Add in half dark and half white chocolate chips for the ultimate, delicious low calorie brownie!
