I got this recipe from an email recently - here is the link to the
original...
I thought it sounded really good- who doesn't love a high fiber brownie?
I made a few alterations - mostly because I had no desire to scoop cookies out when I could just as easily bake in a 9x13 and then cut them later. However, word of caution - if you are not use to having a high fiber diet - proceed with great care. You have been warned. These brownies will have a "nutty" texture because the cereal will not soften during baking.
| 1 | box (1 lb 2.3 oz) fudge brownie mix |
| 2 | cups Fiber One® original bran cereal (some of the ratings suggested breaking up the cereal - I tried to do this by hand- but this cereal is not for the weak...so I mostly was unsuccessful - I think you could break it up in a food processor and that may make the texture of the final product closer to a normal brownie- the texture didn't bother us)
|
| 2 | tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
| 1/8 | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1/3 | cup water |
| 1 | tablespoon vegetable oil |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla |
| 1 egg
I also added 1 TBS applesauce because the mixture seemed a little dry.
|
1.
| Heat oven to 350°F. Spray pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix all ingredients with spoon. Pour into 9x13.
|
| 2. | Bake as directed on box until set (though my toothpick never came out "clean"). Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container. Freeze up to 2 months if desired. |
