Extra Low-fat Brownies 超低脂布朗尼
Most brownies are fudgy and chocolately but this one is made of low-fat yoghurt, valrohna cocoa powder in place of semi-sweet chocolate and vegetable oil. These brownies have a chewy texture and the addition of cashew nuts gave them the extra crunch and aroma. The brownie that I made was quite low as I used a 20 cm square baking tray but you can definitely use a smaller baking tray (18 cm) for a thicker brownie. I cut the brownie into 20 pieces for a modest sized but feel free to cut to a larger size as desired. Do remember not to over bake the brownies or they’ll be too dry. Best serve warm with a cup of coffee and this is also good as a Christmas treat.

They look yummilicious, Ann. Love the add of cashew nuts!
Wow, I can't help admiring your clicks and to think this is low-fat……Bookmarked!
Wow! Thanks Ann for Extra Low-fat Brownies. Another great recipe because so little oil used. I had never baked a brownie before because of the amount of fat in it. Really, appreciate I can start baking brownie for the first time and enjoy savoring it pretty soon and The Dried Tomato Cherry, Pineapple and Almond Loaf recipe, perfect for Christmas and even Chinese New Year.Thank you so much, Ann.BlessingsPriscilla Poh

For a frequent baker, it's quite important to look after our diet, speaking of that, I'm still a naughty one who hasn't been checking on my cholesterol level, hehehe. These brownies look certainly delicious to me, some more is low fat!
Jessie, We ate lots of sweet desserts and cakes, better have a full body checkup at least once a year.
No problem eat more of these brownies 😀
Happy Christmas! We may not be able to have our cake and eat it too. But we can stay skinny and enjoy our brownies thanks to you!
Hi Ann,
May I ask if i can substitute the Valrhona cocoa powder with Hershey’s? Also, how long can these brownies last? 🙂 Thank you!
Hi Charmaynne, Yes, Hershey’s cocoa powder can be used too. These brownies are not very big, better finish it within 2-3 days.
Hi! May I ask if you know these brownies can be frozen? 🙂 thanks!
