Mmmmmmm chocolate brownies

Mmmmmmm! Who doesn't love brownies??? They are one of my favourites and before going to my friends up north or as a treat before Slimming world I used to make them and would have lovely feedback. Such as "you need to make more when you come back next time" or "these are really yummy you can make them for me anytime".
Well in Chessington we had a 'new year new you party' and had to bring something to eat buffet style. Well as I am now known to be the person who makes and bakes I felt a little pressured and they had tasted some of my creations so what to bring????
I was trailing through sites until I came across this little gem....
on minimins forum

3 Syn chocolate brownies

Ingredients:
3 eggs - separated
113g Tate & Lyle Brown &stevia Light at Heart
200g fat free yoghurt
1 1/2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
175g Self Raising Flour
75g Chocolate Options

 Method:
Preheat oven to 190c/Fan 170c/375f/Gas 5, brush a 30 x 20cm tin with oil or line with non stick baking paper. Mix egg yolks, sugar, yoghurt & oil together, sift in the flour & options & stir until smooth. Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, add a spoonful to the mix and stir well to loosen the mix, gently fold in the rest, pour into the tin & bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool.

Now I have changed the recipe from the site to make sure it was 3 syns and that splenda brown sugar no longer exists so this you use half the amount and still get the sweetness without the sweetener taste. I think as someone else suggested upping the amount of options would make it more chocolatey but check syns before doing so...
here is the end result and they were eaten by all and Lia my consultant said I could make them regularly for Mondays so I think they may have come out okay ;)

I am confused by the amount of sugar you used? I have light at heart white, can I use that or do they need the brown sugar,? Brown sugar normally gives things a nice caramel taste.

Well I used light at heart brown and it seemed to work, you could try white not sure if it will have quite the same flavour but as long as it has it's sweetness I don't think it will matter too much! But I agree brown sugar gives the caramel taste hence they use that and not white!
