For 100 calories, make\u00a0fudgy, healthy brownies rich with dark chocolate flavor!<\/em><\/p>\n

There are very, very few times when I begin to question un-friending someone\u2014because how rude would that be?\u2014but have you ever heard someone say that they don\u2019t like dessert…at all<\/em>? I mean, what does that say about a person? Sweets, and chocolate in particular, are some of my happiest indulgences in the world. I\u2019ve often said that if I had to choose between sweet and savory foods, I\u2019d go sweet forever. But the drawback to loving them like I do is that all my favorite traditional desserts also happen to be the least wholesome things I eat–high in calories, high in sugar, and sometimes high in trans fat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Amy Atherton\u2019s Healthier Chocolate Treats Cookbook<\/a>\u00a0is a godsend<\/em>. Amy is the blogger behind Amy’s Healthy Baking<\/a>, and in her cookbook, she gives us healthier versions of our favorite sweet breakfasts, snacks, and chocolatey desserts. Her recipes are lower in calories and fat than the traditional versions, but by using some genius tricks and substitutions, they retain all of the flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Fudgy<\/p>\n

I figured I would start with a classic and make Amy\u2019s Fudgy Dark Chocolate Brownies. The recipe was super easy to follow and because Amy is so smart about baking (she has a food science background!), her instructions were detailed and clear. The brownies I pulled from my oven were dark, rich, and chocolatey, with pretty exceptional fudginess. This healthier brownie recipe uses white whole wheat flour and maple syrup, a natural sweetener, instead of refined white sugar or brown sugar. Unlike traditional brownies, there are only 2 tablespoons of butter inside. But it\u2019s all we really need, especially since the added greek yogurt provides plenty of moisture. At under 100 calories per square, you can enjoy a delicious, fudgy,\u00a0healthy<\/em> brownie anytime.<\/p>\n

\"Fudgy<\/p>\n

These healthy brownies are just one example of why Amy\u2019s cookbook is truly impressive. It has over 50 recipes, and all of them are beautifully photographed. Her personal anecdotes that begin each recipe are so genuine, sweet, and warm, just like Amy herself, who I was lucky enough to meet this past April.\u00a0She’s\u00a0just about the most radiantly kind person I’ve ever met.\u00a0(Side note: Now might be a good time to mention\u00a0a side effect of this book is falling in love with Amy.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Fudgy<\/p>\n

The cookbook<\/a> includes detailed guides on ingredients, measuring, and baking equipment. It\u2019s filled with smart advice, tricks, and tips and Amy is sure to include accurate and detailed nutrition information for every recipe.<\/p>\n

\"Fudgy<\/p>\n

Anyone who loves sweets, or knows someone who does, will adore this cookbook as much as I do!<\/p>\n
