Hearty Lowfat Brownies

These are one of my go to snacks, really hearty and indulgent, but somehow healthy too! I took them to my bike team for my final prep before our ride around Lake Tahoe next weekend and they disappeared very quickly!

The recipe suggests to bake them in a 9 x 13 baking dish, but I took most of the batter and put it in a mini muffin tin and then had enough to pour the rest into a loaf tin with about 2/3in of batter. I really like these mini muffin bites as they are quite hard to cut and this eliminates that hassle. My estimate is that there would be at least 30 brownies, 2 per serving.
