Low-Point Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of sugar-free brownie mix (such as a reduced-sugar or sugar-free variety)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 24 whole pecans
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or any other low-calorie sweetener)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, substituting the oil with unsweetened applesauce to reduce the points.
  3. Scoop out a tablespoon of brownie batter and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a whole pecan in the center and roll the brownie batter around it to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining batter and pecans, making 24 brownie bombs in total.
  4. Place the brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake according to the package instructions, until they are cooked through. Allow them to cool completely.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine the light corn syrup, powdered erythritol, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.
  6. Dip each cooled brownie bomb into the pecan pie sauce, coating it evenly. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
  7. Once the pecan pie sauce has set, serve and enjoy your low-point Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs!

  1. Sugar-free brownie mix: The point value would depend on the specific brand and ingredients of the mix. Look for the points value on the packaging or consult the program’s guidelines for similar items.
  2. Unsweetened applesauce: This would likely be zero points on most programs as it’s a low-calorie ingredient.
  3. Whole pecans: Pecans are a high-fat food and would have a points value assigned to them based on the program’s guidelines.
  4. Light corn syrup: Corn syrup typically has a points value, again depending on the program’s guidelines.
  5. Powdered erythritol: Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and may have a lower or zero point value depending on the program.
  6. Unsweetened almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk is usually low in calories and would likely be zero points.
  7. Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract is typically used in small amounts and would likely contribute negligible points.
