Fudgy Low-Fat Brownies
(from tnhoneypot21’s recipe box)
For a truly fudgy consistency, don’t overbake the brownies; as soon as a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with sticky crumbs attached, the brownies are done. If the toothpick emerges with no crumbs, the brownies will be cakey.

Directions
-
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350ยบ. Fold two 12-in. pieces foil lengthwise so each measures 7-inches wide. Fit one sheet into 8-inch square baking dish, pushing foil into corners & up sides (overhang will be helpful in removal of brownies). Repeat w/ second sheet, placing in pan perpendicular to first sheet. Spray foil with cooking spray.
-
Whisk flour, cocoa, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Melt bittersweet chocolate and butter in large bowl until smooth. Cool 2-3 minutes, then whisk in sour cream, chocolate syrup, vanilla, egg, egg white, & sugar. Using rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into chocolate mixture until combined.
-
Pour batter into pan, spread into corners, and level with spatula. Bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted comes out with a few sticky crumbs attached, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely in pan on wire rack for at least 1 hour. Remove brownies from pan using foil handles. Cut into 2 inch squares and serve. To keep brownies moist, do not cut until ready to serve. Brownies can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for 3 days.
