Nutrition Facts For Brownies

Brownies are one of the simplest desserts you can make at home. You can buy them in stores, as mixes, but they will contain added sugar, preservatives, and flavoring that adds to the caloric content and makes them less healthy for your body. Low calorie brownies can be made at home, allowing you to control the ingredients and nutrition. Chopped nuts, raisins, and chocolate chips are often added to the batter, but they do add extra calories and are optional. Although you can’t eat brownies often and stay healthy, in moderation they do provide some surprising health benefits, most of which are obtained from the chocolate. They contain antioxidants known as flavanols, which help your body fight disease and may lower the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Of course, there are also all the other ingredients to consider, such as the sugar and butter, which can be detrimental to your waistline.

Alternatives For Making Brownies

If you bake brownies every week or just once in a while, there are changes you can make to your recipe that will result in healthier brownies. The typical brownie is very high in calories and fat, both of which can be cut by using substitutes such as tofu or by using less sugar and butter. If you’re not a master in the kitchen, a quick search for low calorie brownies will give you many options and you’ll be on your way to enjoying a healthier treat in no time.

We often hear about heavily processed frozen dinners and processed foods worth avoiding, but there are minimally processed foods that do pack a lot of nutrition and may be worth having in the fridge or cupboard.
