These dark chocolate brownies with sour cherries are rich tasting, moist & chewy & they sport an dietary profile. To start with, the batter is made of bittersweet chocolate chips combined with unsweetned coco powder, which adds intense flavor without the fat.These brownies only contain one egg & a tablespoon and a half of canola oil, rather then a stick of butter, some recipes call for. If you like,serve the browmies topped with a low fat ice cream.
