I found this in Healthy Cooking. Please note I've not had a chance to make this recipe yet and am posting to save the clip out. The magazine claims this reduces the calories and fat of other meringue topped brownies. Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened |
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup skim milk |
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz total) |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
3 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (not a duplicate, this is another portion) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream the butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar and the sugar until light and fluffy; then beat in vanilla.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternatively with the milk, beating well after each addition.
3. Press into a 13 x9 baking pan already coated with non-stick spray.
4. Sprinkle chocolate chips, coconut and walnuts on top.
5. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
6. Gradually beat (1 tbsp at a time) the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
7. Spread this mixture over the top of the mix in the pan.
8. Bake in a 350F oven for 30-35 minutes.
9. Cool on a wire rack and then cut into 24 bars.
10. STORE in the refrigerator.
