Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently into the batter.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cupcake brownies from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! These are great on their own or paired with a dollop of light whipped cream for an extra treat.
