This afternoon, I was getting ready to melt a stick of butter to make brownies and decided to check online for other alternatives.
I was thrilled to find recipes that make these sinful treats guilt-free since I polished off the fudgy brownies I had baked last week (with some help from the bf) and had brownies again last Sunday while watching Game of Thrones.
I do need that kind of gratification knowing that George Martin kills off characters when you least expect it. It's also a good excuse for brownies even if I've read the books and know what's about to happen ;-)

| A sliver to taste turned into "just one more"... lol. |
The brownies turned out delicious! It's moist even if it looks cake like and a bit springy and that might be from the cornstarch. Even so, this "healthy brownie" recipe is a better alternative to the original recipe that uses butter.
