Oh you can tell they're lowfat...for being healthy, they taste great. Very moist. However, my husband though they were not to his liking.

I replaced the sugar with Splenda, the prunes with apple sauce and used whole wheat flour. They were awful ... don't even resemble brownies. Given all of the replacements I made the rating should be taken with a grain of salt, but I am thinking I will be sticking with my good ol' fashioned full fat recipe in the future. Thanks for inspiring me to try, though ... I think I am just a sucker for fat and real sugar when it comes to brownies!

I followed this recipe exactly and they turned out very rubbery and cake like. They satisfy the chocolate craving but are nothing like the real thing, I probably won't make them again.

For low fat they are good. I used splenda instead of sugar and I followed previous suggestions to reduce the the ammount. I wish I had not. Other than that, the texture was close and the flavor was unique. They passed the kid test. And that is what is ultimately important.

Good thing this recipe is low fat because 10 hours later, all that's left is a pan for me to wash! I added an extra 1/2 T of cocoa & substituted whole wheat flour for A/P & melted butter for vegetable oil. The result were chewy, extra moist brownines with less guilt. I've already saved it o my recipe box!

I teach a healthy cooking class in an elementary school. My class ranges from third grade to fifth grade. We used this recipe. The children did not like these brownies at all. When I asked them if they wanted to take one home to let their parents taste them, they all said yes. They wanted to play jokes on them. These brownies were very spongey and lacked taste.

Best Brownies Ever! I used applesauce instead of prunes, egg whites, and added walnuts. These were better than the regular brownies. My whole family loved them.

I used soy flour instead of white flour and applesauce instead of prunes. As well, I used splenda rather than sugar. It tastes great but I wonder about adding baking powder or soda to fluff it up a bit. It is a great recipe though! Thanks.

YUMMMM....These brownies are SO good.. They are very moist and cakey. I also used applesauce in place of the prunes.I was looking for a brownie with less fat and this fit the bill to a tee... I mixed in some chopped pecans and had with low fat vanilla frozen yougert, yummy.Some peanut butter chips would be good in here also.

These reviews are so funny to read. I, too, found it funny to cut my pan into so many little squares. Hmph! I like my brownies big and fudgy. So I am going to try some of the suggestions next time I make them. But really, I loved these! I used the applesauce for ease and cut some of the oil. I'm rating it a 5 because OF COURSE it's not the real deal. For for low fat though, which is how it's advertised, it's awesome! And anyone who is trying to eat healthy or loose weight should try eating in smaller portions anyway, so the smaller squares aren't thaaaat crazy. Give it a try!

I amended this recipe slighlty and it was great! I can't believe how flavorful these brownies taste - you would never guess they are low fat. My subsitutions even made them lower in fat- I used applesauce instead of prunes, wheat flour instead of white flour and egg whites instead of eggs (1/4 cup egg white per 1 whole egg)

I used applesauce like others suggested, and this brownie was very bland, and actually really yucky. I have had better luck taking a recipe I like to use, and subbing fat free sour cream and/or buttermilk with applesauce for the oil, and it makes a much better tasting brownie.

These are supposed to be brownies? Could've fooled me; it's more like a chocolate pancake! Too flat to be considered cakey, an odd, indescribable, slightly-off taste, and no glossy, crusted surface as brownies generally have. The serving size is fine, if you don't mind a brownie the size of a Scrabble tile! Would not make again.

I'm thrilled with these brownies. We've always tried to eat healthy & regular brownies (with a cup of butter) don't work for me. These were great with 2 tbls. oil & 1/2 cup of applesauce (instead of baby prunes) were yum.

I thought I'd give these a try since the rating was decent.. I'm not going to lie, these were a disappointment. There was no chewy, moist texture. The taste was very bland as well. I tried this twice, using prunes once and applesauce the other time. Prunes are definitely slightly better, but truthfully, both are disappointing. Stick to real brownies!
