Anywho, we'll save Chicago for later and start blogging about chocolate now! So, I have been having my normal chocolate cravings lately and coincidentally also received an email from Jillian Michaels about how to satisfy those chocolate cravings! I have never tried baking a 'healthy' dessert...because...it's dessert and it's supposed to be unhealthy! But, I thought I'd give this one a shot. And it turned out pretty good! Although, I'm not sure I'd categorize them as 'brownies'. They turned out more cake-y and less fudge-y. And I can really taste the honey (probably the kind I used...Naturoney Organic Honey)...it's almost like a chocolate honey cake! Nonetheless, it still did a good job at satisfying my chocolate craving...I just scarfed down 3 pieces! So, really, they're probably not healthy when you can't control yourself...
I would definitely make this one again. Not only is it 'healthy'... but, it's super quick and easy to make...and you only really need 3 bowls, which makes for easy cleanup. Here's how I did it!
Jillian Michaels' Fudge Brownies
Bowl #1:
2/3 cup honey - microwave for 1 min until runny
Then add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa. Mix well and set aside to cool.
Bowl #2:
Sift together:
1/2 cup flour (I didn't have whole wheat)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
In a mixer add:
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 egg at room temperature
3/4 tsp vanilla
And lastly, the dry ingredients....
And when everything is all mixed in the party...transfer to a greased baking dish...into a 350 C oven..
Chocolate deliciousness!
Yum!
