As you may know from an older post My Weightloss Story: Slimming World. I lost over 3 stone in weight by following the regime which meant changing my eating habits to improve my weight, stomach issues and walking ability.
Recently I have grown concerned that I am slipping gradually back into bad habits as I struggle with my sweet tooth and cutting out my past beloved meals whilst still being able to walk well… I stumbled upon a recipe on a blog called Basement Bakehouse.com which I didn’t expected to find as I was actually on the lookout for smoothie and yoghurt ideas that were low calorie.
I’d first like to mention that this blog post that I’m referring to is very old but still I found it very informative and the brownies turned out great despite being a first attempt.
There are many recipes on this blog including pasta meals, cheese cake and the one syn brownie recipe that I’d like to share with you.
All ingredients bought from Sainsburys in U.K.
The recipe is as follows including the specific ingredients I used
ingredients and quantities –
35g Sweetener
30g Cocoa Powder
3 Free range eggs (egg yolk and white separated)
1 Tbsp (table spoon) self raising flour. I had to put table spoon as I thought some like myself may get confused between table spoon and tea spoon in short hand)
2 tea spoons of Water
To begin heat your oven to 180 ( bullseye) degrees lol
Next Step (2)
Whisk the eggs whites using a mixing utensil of your choice) until they reach a soft consistency meaning that if you were to turn your mixing bowl upside down the contents wouldn’t fall out. I used an electric whisking machine I can’t use a manual whisk due to my disability as my hand gets very tired and whisking and holding a mixing bowl simultaneously is impossible
Next step (3)
In a separate mixing bowl mix together the next 3 ingredients – The separated egg yolks, the sweetener and cocoa powder until they are mixed and form a thick, gloopy chocolate paste
Next Step (4)
Now combine the egg white prepared in the second step with the self raising flour.
Next step (5)
Pour the now mixed together gloopy chocolate paste into an oven safe baking tray of your choice, note that depth and size of the tray is key to help determine how thick you’d like your brownies to be.
Pre oven brownie mix
Final Step (6)
Bake for 20 minutes on Gas mark 4 (180 degrees) then leave to cool
Enjoy 😃 your 1 syn brownies (8 syns in total)
I had mine with satsumas, a mini Vienna ice cream for 1 syn and frozen berries
