Music: All I really want - Melissa Ethridge?

Mood: Fudge-a-licious

Mmmmmmmm.....

I found a GOOD recipe on the web and it's compliant for most (unless you can't find ANY compliant flours). I used 3/4 of a cup of reg 100% RYE flour instead of the two wheat flours and I can't tell the difference. I licked the bowl too :-D I also added a hand-full of walnuts to mine. I found this on www.fatfree.com and the author is mormaker@rmii.com As you may have guessed....I'm having sweet cravings right now. Nothing wrong with that. It's just good to find things that are on the diet even when your brain is telling you to cheat. And my tummy can't tell the difference with this one :-) If you're an O, try using ALMOND extract instead of the vanilla. And if apples are off your list, you could always use a compliant oil instead. (ex.: canola) And if you're an O family, I guess you should put in the whole egg since the yolks have all that good vitamin K that you need. But I'm not sure if that would make it just 1 or 2 whole eggs.......



Fat-Free Fudge Brownies



1/2 c. whole wheat flour

1/4 c. unbleached flour

1/4 c. plus 2 T. cocoa

1 c. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/3 c. unsweetened applesauce

3 egg whites

1 tsp. vanilla



Combine dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients. Combine wet and dry

ingredients. Pour into an 8x8 in pan sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking

spray (I use olive oil spray). Bake at 325 F. for 23-25 min., or just until the edges are firm and

the center is set. (30 min. if your at a super high altitude.)

COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE and cut into squares.

But who says you must cut them into squares? Why not triangles? Baklava is in triangles, (ohhhh the flaky goodness.....if we AB's are destined to be flaky, we should then taste like baklava I think.....) So....why not triangle brownies? Equality for baked goods of all shapes.....hurrah! Oh...and how about some red wine? Who else LOVES a good, full bodied yet slightly tart red wine with their chocolate? Party time at my place! Just me, myself and the brownies!!! Well, maybe I'll share some with Carlos....:-)
