Flicking through the Healthy Food Guide website I came across this recipe for a fat free brownie - the recipe is here. The picture in the magazine looked pretty good, and despite being skeptical of a brownie recipe containing no butter or eggs I decided to give it a chance. (With the outrageous price of butter a brownie recipe that is 'healthyish' and cheap would be a bonus...) The recipe uses apple puree as a fat substitute, which I like the idea of. However with this being the only wet ingredient the mixture was way too dry so I succumbed to the temptation to add an egg. Instead of the specified walnuts and dark chocolate I added raspberries and white chocolate.It is important to note that this is most definitely not a brownie. It was quite spongy and the top felt a bit rubbery, it didn't get that fudgy crumb and papery crust that the genuine article has. It tasted ok in a run of the mill chocolate cake kind of way, but I am definitely of the school of thought where you indulge less often but do it properly...
