A cake-like brownie with all the flavor and half the calories; these Whole Wheat Brownies are a good treat for the days you want to indulge but still feel good about your choices.
Sunday I was super craving brownies and despite almost 2 weeks of feeling terribly congested ( I finally went to the Dr. Monday and I have an upper respiratory infection = BOO! ) I was determined to make some, no sooner than I had committed myself to baking that I realized I was out of flour, except for whole wheat.
Well committed I was and so these “healthy” brownies were born, if you can actually call a brownie healthy, which for the record I could care less about; I LOVE BROWNIES! I am typically a fudgy brownie girl, but these brownies made me think twice. A cake-like brownie with all the flavor and half the calories; these are a good treat for the days you want to indulge but still feel good about your choices. Next time you’re craving a treat, even late at night I suggest whipping up a batch of these brownies. Enjoy and happy baking!

These are a nice change!
Paula I know usually I am obsessed with decadent brownies, but these turned out to be a good lighter option 🙂
These look delicious! Will be giving them a go as my kids love them!
