Low Calorie Brownies Recipe with Pumpkin Puree
These Low Calorie Brownies have about 60 calories in each. They are the perfect indulgent treat that is better-for-you too. Each bite is filled with a rich, chocolate flavor and pools of melted chocolate from the chunks. The texture of the brownie is still fudgy but lighter than your typical brownie.
