Ingredients

1/3 cup Prune Puree (see below)
1/4 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups unsweetened cocoa
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
6 egg whites
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Vegetable cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine Prune Puree (see below), skim milk, instant coffee granules, vegetable oil and vanilla extract; stir well, and set aside.

Mix together cocoa, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir well, and set aside.

Mix sugar and egg whites together in a large bowl; beat at high speed of a mixer 3 minutes or until mixture becomes thick. Add Prune Puree mixture; beat at low speed until well-blended.

Sprinkle flour mixture over egg white mixture, and fold in. Fold in chocolate morsels. Spread batter evenly into a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until brownies spring back when touched lightly in center. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

To make prune puree, combine 1-1/3 cups (8 oz.) pitted prunes and 6 T water in the container of a food processor. Pulse on and off until prunes are finely chopped. Makes 1 cup.
