All Hail the Brownie That Makes Me Lose Weight

All credit for these Brownies go to Shan.  She found the recipe from THIS blog.  And then turned it into a THM Recipe.  I am NOT convinced I could lose weight eating them.  I was however so full and satisfied after just a 3"x3" piece.  They are so rich, so delicious, and SO heavy in your stomach.  Just what a girl needs on a Friday night.  I had to brush my teeth so I would stop "tasting" them. Jake votes these Brownies as the best THM dessert so far!

Sinfully Dark Chocolate Brownies (S)

Makes 9-12 brownies in an 8×8 pan

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 C. Truvia
2 large eggs
scant 3/4 cups 100% Hershey’s Dark Cocoa
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 C. Almond Flour

1/2 C. Golden Flax
1 C. Semi Sweet Morsels

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 8″ x 8″ pan.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave) then remove from heat. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the butter mixture to the heat (or microwave) briefly, just until it’s hot, but not bubbling. It will get shiney as you stir it.

In a smaller bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla.

Stir the hot butter mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.

Stir in the flour and chocolate chunks (or chips) until just combined. (Note: If you want the chips to remain intact in the baked brownies, rather than melting in, let the batter cool in the bowl for about 20 minutes before stirring in the chips.)

Pour the batter into a lightly greased 8″ x 8″ pan and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, with some moist crumbs but no loose batter. Cool before serving.
