SIMPLY SCRUMPTIOUS Orange and Cranberry Chocolate Brownies

Probably the easiest & lowest calorie brownies ever!

Ready in less than 30 minutes!


OIL FREE - VIRTUALLY FAT FREE - LOW CALORIE - FLOURLESS - NO ADDED SUGAR

If you like the taste of dark chocolate with high cocoa solids then these are for you, but to worry if your not so keen as there are plenty of options to sweeten these up.

These brownies contain NO added sugar so will be slightly bitter, but if you add some optional add-ins your get some sweetness from that or when you have a slice you could always drizzle with a healthy syrup, or dust with a little icing sugar, even serve with some fresh strawberries and your favourite ice-cream. 

All you need to make these delicious moist brownies is a food processor and a set of measuring cups and spoons

Makes 9 brownies
37 calories each without cranberries
47 calories with cranberries

Optional add-ins you could try are chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, even mini marshmallows but remember the calories will go up!

I thought when making this recipe it would be better to keep the brownies with as few calories as possible and let you sweeten them to your taste

These brownies (in my opinion) are far tastier once the have been refrigerated, plus they are a lot less crumbly/messy
