For people watching their sugar intake, Pillsbury has come out with Splenda-sweetened brownie mixes. Each box, mixed with water, oil and an egg, makes 12 servings, each with 150 calories and no sugar. Flavors are chocolate fudge and milk chocolate.
They mix up well and take your standard brownie mix ingredients – 1 egg, 3 tbsp of water and a third of a cup of oil. Mixed up smooth and spread easy in an 9X9 baking pan.
They tasted great. They make 12 servings – and they are small brownies. 150 calories per, so easy to work into my daily calories. Again, these contain sugar alcohols so if you are sensitive to sugar alcohols, they will cause a laxative effect if you eat too many and if you eat the regular serving but are sensitive to sugar alcohols, well, look out.
When I made these I used a 9x9 baking pan. I would suggest using an 8x8 pan, the 9x9 makes a little thin but still good. Also if using the 9x9 pan the instructions say to bake for 26 - 30 minutes, I would go 25 - 26 minutes. Anything over exactly 26 minutes they come out over baked. I also used Egg Beaters instead of an Egg and added some chopped Walnuts.
