Low cal homemade brownie mix + baked brownies!

I’ve got a horrid sweet tooth, but here’s a dessert recipe lower in calories than a lot of “skinny” barely sweet apple and cinnamon recipes. I will include the brownie mix and recipe both just in case u’re looking for either + compare it to other low cal alternatives!

Brownie Mix (can use right away in a 13x9 pan or store away in a ziploc bag):

½ cup Truvia baking blend (190 cals)

½ cup flour (200 cals, depending on mix)

½ cup cocoa powder (98 cals)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking powder

Total mix calories: 488 cals

Calories for 1/20 of the mix (how most generic brands calculate calories): 24.4 cals

How does it compare?

Entire Mix:

mix above: 488 cals

sugar free boxed mix: 1080 cals

regular boxed mix: 2000 cals

Calories for 1/20 of the mix (generic brands calculate calories):

mix above: 24.4 cals

sugar free boxed mix: 54 cals

regular boxed mix: 100 cals

How to bake for even more calorie saving:

use ¼ cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt (if a recipe calls for ½ cup oil, substitute with half cup Greek yogurt)

use 1-2 egg whites (more egg = more cakey) 

OR

use ¼ cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt for each egg

OR

¼ cup skim milk for each egg

Bake in a greased 13x9 pan (use the spray!) or glass pan at 350 degrees for 20-30 min (if you like yours gooey don’t keep it in for the whole 30 min)

How does it compare?

Entire baked pan: 

mix above with low cal substitutions: 537-550 cals

sugar free mix following box directions: 1680 cals

regular mix following box directions: 3200 cals

Calories for 1/20th of the pan (generic serving sized most commonly used):

mix above with low cal substitutions: 26.85-27.5 cals

sugar free mix following box directions: 84 cals

regular mix following box directions: 160 cals

I hope you guys enjoy! ( you can eat half a pan and still be under 300 cals!)

(side note: there’s a post going around that says if you substitute all added ingredients in a boxed brownie mix with Greek yogurt the entire pan would be equal to 210 calories but it’s very false!!!!! A regular generic pan would still exceed 2000 cals even when Greek yogurt is used).

Anorexia And Bulimia Are Not Pretty

They are not pretty like the thinspo. It’s not high-waisted shorts, crop tops, and thigh high socks. It’s not cute clothes, compliments, and delicate skin. It’s not looking hot in coffee shops, fitting into tight spaces, and being able to be lifted. It’s not polite “No thank you”s and dainty shakes of the head. That’s not what and it is. 

It’s leaning over a toilet and throwing up the calorie filled chicken parm your mom made especially for you. It’s closing yourself off from entire events if there is even a chance of food. It’s crying in the bathroom when you only dropped five pounds that week when you needed seven. It’s looking in the mirror and seeing every bone and still believing you’re not skinny enough. It’s seeing clothes you were never able to wear before but still wanting to be a size 0. It’s freezing cold showers that make your fingers numb. It’s sleepless nights because your bones make it uncomfortable to lay down. It’s unconsciously pinching and pulling at your body in public. It’s seeing the bump on your lower abdomen and believing that it’s all fat. It’s thinking about getting a rib removed so you can look thinner. It’s lonely weekends because your friends want to go to the movies and out to eat but it’s your fasting day and can’t be stopped now. It’s under eye bags and fragile limbs. It’s smiling and saying no when we want to stuff our faces. It’s passing out because we haven’t eaten for a week. It’s trying to deceive the doctor into thinking that our small frame could really hold 130 pounds. It’s painful. It’s scary. It seems like it will never end. We tell ourselves we’ll stop here but, in the back of our minds, we’re not sure if we can. It’s hating everything about yourself and only feeling like you’re worth something when you’re not eating. It’s low electrolytes, a raw throat, and scarred fingers. It’s exercising until you want to faint. It’s being terrified that your weight will shoot up if you eat one chip. It’s scarfing down five servings of something to make the pain go away and crying for hours after. And this is not even the half of it. 

There are so many other eating disorders a person could go through and they’re all hell. Ask someone if they really love what they’re doing. Most if not all the time a person will say they hate it. It’s killing yourself and we know it. But here we are. So no. EDs are not pretty. Don’t ask me to teach you to get one.

(I’m sorry but I’ve actually been asked in real life and on the internet how to become anorexic or bulimic. And I hate it. They think it’s an amazing thing. An amazing way to drop a few pound in a month and get off once they drop a size. I just needed to rant about it a bit cause I’m tired. DON’T ASK ME HOW TO GET AN ED I WILL NOT TELL YOU! I would not give an ed to my worst enemy. So I will certainly not give the tools to a friend or even a stranger.)
