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.

Top tips for making low-fat brownies:
We recommend you use a 17cm square tin for this recipe, but not to worry if you don’t have the exact one. Just remember that the bigger the tray, the thinner the brownies will be and the quicker they will cook.
