I don't throw the words "guiltless" and "chocolate" together easily or without caution. This recipe was inspired from (or copied from) the TV show "Cook Yourself Thin" and has an amazing secret ingredient. We've all heard the healthy adaptations that blow kid's minds when you tell them their chocolate cake has zucchini in it or their cup cakes have apple sauce...this recipe will do the same!
Ingredients:
1 c fresh raspberries, 2 c. butternut squash peeled and finely grated, 1 handful of white chocolate chips if you want to keep this guiltless (2 if you don't care), 1 c. ground almonds, 1 1/4 c. sugar, 3 medium eggs, 1/4 self rising flour, 1/2 c cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray pan with cooking spray, or use parchment paper to save calories. Beat eggs and sugar in large mixing bowl for 4-5 minutes until BIG and fluffy. Add butternut squash, ground almonds, flour, salt, and baking powder until well mixed. Pour half of this mixture into pan and sprinkle raspberries and white chips on top. Cover with remaining brownie mixture. Cook for 20 minutes then cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
Need an amazing way to save time on this recipe? Buy Trader Joe's No Pudge Brownie Mix, all you have to do is add vanilla yogurt. This is a much thicker recipe so you'll need to use a small square pan to spread 1/2 the mixture, add the raspberries and white chocolate, then add the other 1/2 of the mixture and spread the best you can.
