| | | It seems like for most dinner party potlucks, people gravitate toward making a pie for dessert. I get it: Most are really good! Pecan (I pronounce it "PEA-CAN") pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is my favorite, and I always demand that someone bring it to dinner. Key lime pie? Eh, I don't care for it. | | But this week, why not mix things up and bring a classic crowd-pleaser of brownies? They're actually easy to make from scratch, and they travel really well. Today's recipe contains no added sugar, just in case any of you are trying to be mindful of your sugar intake. | | | | | | | Mind your oven!

January 5, 2025 • 2.5 min read | | | |  | | | | A fudgy brownie with no added sugars | | This brownie recipe cuts out added sugar by using unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar-free chocolate chips, and stevia, a zero-calorie sweetener that's generally recognized as safe by health experts. Of course, you can always choose your own brownie adventure and add some real sugar. Just keep in mind that this will change the nutritional value of the recipe. | | The ingredient list includes chopped nuts of your choosing, but personally, I don't think they're necessary. My only real tip is to leave the brownies in the oven a teeny-tiny bit longer (2 to 3 minutes) than the suggested cook time to burn the edges slightly — those are the best parts, after all! | | | | | | | | | Draw straws | | | | |  | | Piteno 16-Pack Reusable Glass Straws | | All of my friends keep metal straws in their homes, but I find them a little ugly. Instead, I prefer these glass versions. My favorite aspect is that I can see right through them. Unlike with metal straws, this visibility allows me to know when it's time to scrub inside extra thoroughly. | | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Store's vetting processes.
