BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES (LOW-FAT BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW IT)



Butterscotch Brownies (Low-Fat but You'd Never Know It) image

When I found this recipe in an old Better Homes and Gardens dessert cookbook I had to try it out of simple curiosity. Even though it was not considered a low-anything recipe, there was absolutely no fat added; no butter, no shortening, no oil, no nothing. I am quite finicky when it comes to desserts, and I'd rather not have it than compromise. These surprised me. They were delicious, chewy, rich, almost like candy (which is why it is cut into small pieces) and you'd never know there was no fat added, other than what is in the egg and nuts.
