LOW-FAT BROWNIES

Bake sale coming up? Consider modifying your traditional brownie mix recipe a bit.  To make it a healthier dessert, omit the oil, double the water, use two egg whites in place of each egg, and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Your brownies will remain moist and chewy, you'll save about 15 grams of fat per tablespoon of oil omitted, and you’ll reduce the cholesterol by removing the egg yolks. Enjoy, but don't forget, reduced fat doesn’t mean calorie free; portion size still matters.
