Back to School Brownies

Pack a homemade goodie in any
lunchbox and you’ve made someone’s
day! Usually the key to moist brownies is
loads of butter or fat, but this moist, fudgy
recipe is actually a treat you’ll be happy
to serve your healthy family. Remember,
measure the flour carefully and be careful
to bake the brownies just until set,
removing them from the oven before they
dry out.
