Lean but Luscious Chocolate Brownies

A surprisingly secret ingredient — strained baby food plums — provides a convenient way to add luscious texture to brownies without any fuss and without interfering with the genuine chocolate flavour brownies must have.
1/2 cup All-purpose flour 125 mL

1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
125 mL
1/2 tsp Baking powder 2 mL

1/4 tsp Salt 1 mL

2/3 cup Granulated sugar 150 mL

1/4 cup Butter, melted 50 mL
1 Egg 1
2 tbsp Milk 25 mL

1/2 tsp Vanilla 7 mL

1 Jar (4-1/2 oz/128 mL) strained baby food plums 1

In bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.

In bowl and using electric mixer beat sugar with butter until combine but not smooth; beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Using wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture alternately with plums, making 2 additions of flour and 1 of plums. Spread in lightly greased 8-inch (2 L) square cake pan, smoothing top.

Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for about 20 minutes or until tester inserted in centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Let cool completely in pan on rack. (Brownies can be stored in airtight contalner in refrigerator for up to 3 days or individually wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen in airtight container for up to 1 week.) Makes 16 squares. Per square: about 95 cat, 1 g pro, 4 g total fat (2 g sat. fat), 15 g carb, 1 g fibre, 21 mg chol, 99 mg sodium. % RDI: 1% calcium, 4% iron, 4% vit A, 1% folate.

TIPS:

Dust brownies with icing sugar for an attractive finish.
