Our low fat brownies recipe is low in calories but high in flavour.

Unlike our classic chocolate brownie recipe, these brownies are much lower in fat. This recipe uses dark chocolate - which has less sugar and more cocoa than milk or white chocolate - resulting in only 3g of fat per square. Easy to make and quick to do, these gorgeously gooey brownies are ready in 40 minutes with just three simple steps to follow. Dust with icing sugar to finish and enjoy with your feet up and a cuppa in hand.
