Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

Recipe
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 egg white
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ounces semi sweet chocolates
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; mix well. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, egg white, sugar and vanilla; beat well to dissolve the sugar.

3. In the top of a double broiler over medium heat, combine the chocolate and butter. Melt, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Cool 1 minute, then stir into the egg mixture; beat well to combine. Stir the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan.

4. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20-22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into 16 brownies.

My Revisions
The only change I made, is instead of using a double broiler to melt the chocolate and butter, I just stuck them in a glass bowl, and microwaved them for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between each time, until they were just melted. Make sure not to cook too long, because it will burn and burned chocolate is bad.

Outcome
They are not the sweetest fudgiest brownies I have ever had in my life, but being a weight watchers recipe, that isn't what I would have expected anyways. For a sweet craving that doesn't blow your calorie budget for the day, these are a really good alternative. I would definitely make these again. They are very easy to make, and you don't have to feel guilty about eating just one.
