Need a fat-free and low-calorie chocolate treat idea? If so, you've come to the right place. These easy homemade chocolate brownies are low in calories and completely fat-free! That doesn't necessarily make them healthy, though, as these fat-free chocolate brownies are still full of sugar. But you can still enjoy knowing they are low-cal and fat-free!
They're made with applesauce to keep them moist and fat-free (in place of the usual oil which most brownie recipes call for), non-fat milk powder instead of milk, and they have just one egg white, making them a reduced-cholesterol recipe as well.
Try icing these brownies with healthier frosting recipes such as refined sugar-free peanut butter frosting, refined sugar-free chocolate frosting, or coconut butter vanilla frosting with agave nectar.

If you're not planning on frosting your brownies, you can give them a light dusting with powdered sugar, if you'd like. Enjoy!
