I have been searching for a healthy alternative to store-bought Fiber One 100 calorie brownies and I have finally found it! These are more of a cake-like, lighter brownie than the very dense and chewy black bean brownies that are so popular. To me, they taste better than and have the same texture as a regular, full-fat brownie, but have 1/2 the calories coming in at just 90 calories per bar. This is an original recipe that you will not find anywhere else. Please give it a try! If you do not find that these are the very best fat-free brownies, I will eat them for you! ;)

How To Make the very best healthy brownies you will ever taste

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray an 8x8 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In very small bowl, dissolve instant coffee in vanilla and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3

In a third bowl, combine sugar, avocado, eggs and coffee mixture. Mix with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes. Gradually stir in by hand flour mixture and chocolate chips (if using) into egg mixture until JUST combined.
Step 4

Pour evenly into prepared pan. (Can add a few chocolate chips on top, optional.) Bake 19-23 minutes until a toothpick inserted 2" from side comes out nearly clean. Don't over bake. Cut into 16 squares and bag in ziplocks for under 100 calorie servings.
