Coffee & A Low-Calorie Brownie? Don't Mind If We Do!

The perfect coffee-morning cake to have with your cup of joe is surely a coffee cake of some sort? Well, by adding a few spoons of instant coffee to your Lo-Dough Brownie Mix and chocolate coating, what you get are the most amazing mocha-coffee flavoured, low-calorie brownies. A little coffee is often added to traditional recipes to boost the chocolate flavour, giving a richer taste. In this case, we are going slightly further to try and add the bitter, rich taste of coffee to the brownie.  

Making your Low-Calorie Brownies

Make the Lo-Dough Brownie Mix as per the packet instructions and then stir through 3 teaspoons of instant coffee powder before adding to your lined tin. Bake for 25 minutes at 190C. Allow to cool (as per the instructions) and then cut into 9 portions. Once cool, melt approx. 50g of white chocolate in the microwave (break into small pieces and heat in 30-second blasts, stirring between each one. While the chocolate is still hot, stir in a teaspoon of instant coffee powder and stir well.  Drizzle over your brownies in a fine stream and then allow the chocolate to cool and set. They are now ready to serve.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
