This much healthier version of a decadent, show-stopping treat has under 200 calories and only 4 grams of saturated fat.
16 brownies
Ingredients
3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 cup of light peanut flour (28%), sifted
1/4 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of salt
2 each of large eggs
2 each of large egg whites
1 1/4 cups of sugar
5 tbsp of unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp of vanilla extract
1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 oz of lightly salted peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, peanut flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, sugar, butter and vanilla extract in a second bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just incorporated; pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the marshmallows and press very lightly into the batter. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and peanuts over and around the marshmallows.
- Bake the brownies in the center of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the marshmallows are golden, about 28-30 minutes. Cool brownies in the pan on a wire rack 1 hour. Lift the ends of the foil to transfer brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 brownies.
Peanut flour is available for purchase online at The American Peanut Shellers Association.
