Chocolate Chip Brownies

These brownies are the perfect treat if you’re looking for something sweet and healthy. At only 64 calories these are completely guiltless, yet still rich and chocolaty thanks to the soymilk and chocolate chips. I sprinkled mini hearts on top of mine just before baking so they cooked right into the top layer! Try experimenting with other flavor extracts like peppermintalmond or even coconut to make different flavors.
