Super Fudgy Brownies
These moist, chewy brownies have plenty of rich chocolatey flavor—with a fraction of the fat and calories found in many traditional recipes. Wheat germ and oats add fiber and vitamins, while the milk powder provides a calcium boost.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips about 1 cup
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/3 cup toasted wheat germ
- 1/3 cup fat-free dry milk powder
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8" x 8" baking dish with cooking spray.
- Put the chocolate and butter in a microwaveable dish. Melt in the microwave on medium power for 30 to 45 seconds. In a bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, milk powder, and walnuts.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the egg and egg whites, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted chocolate and beat until smooth.
- Stir in the oat mixture. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- When the brownies are cool, cut them with a sharp knife coated with cooking spray.
