So as you know I’m all about balance. Balanced diet, balanced life.

Well sometimes my balanced diet needs a massive serving of brownies to satisfy the quota!

When this happens to you do you just throw in the towel and go all out with a fresh batch of homemade brownies?

Well sometimes we do too!

But for those times when you want something guilt-free, sweet and delicious you need to have some ‘go-to’ healthy dessert swaps.

Try this delicious sugar free brownie recipe we made last night. The original recipe calls for margarine which we substituted with coconut oil. We also added 2 tbsp of shredded unsweetened coconut and 2 tbsp of sugar free chocolate chips. Yum!!

LiveFit sugar free brownies with coconut oil

Ingredients

1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 cup granular sucrolose sweetener (such as Splenda(R))
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 (1.4 ounce) package sugar free, chocolate fudge flavored instant pudding
1 cup skim milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch pan.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt margarine and cocoa together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in the sucrolose sweetener. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture then mix in the cocoa and margarine. Finally stir in the 1/4 cup of milk and if desired, the walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean.

To make frosting, Mix together the sugar free chocolate pudding mix and 1 cup skim milk using an electric mixer. Mix for about two minutes or until thick. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
