Healthy Brownies! What?

OK this totally sounds too good to be true. I am going to try them out for sure and see for myself if they are as good as a regular brownie. I was watching the TV show the doctors today and Rocco Dispirito was on there. Here is his low fat low calorie brownie recipe. # Nonstick cooking spray # 1½ cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained # ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder # 1 tablespoon espresso powder # ¾ cup egg substitute # 2 tablespoons low-calorie sugar-free chocolate syrup, such as Walden Farms # 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream, such as Breakstone's # 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted # 24 packets (84 g) Truvia or 8 tablespoons granulated Splenda # 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Makes 12 brownies. Cooking Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the beans, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and egg substitute in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through. Add the chocolate syrup, sour cream, butter, Truvia, and vanilla. Process until all of the ingredients are combined, about 1 minute. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, turning the dish halfway through the baking time. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out with soft batter clinging to it. Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Then cut into 12 squares and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers. NOW YOU CAN EAT THIS! Number of Servings: 12

  2. This recipe sounds fantastic. Do you know how many calories each serving has by chance?
