Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Powdered stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and powdered stevia or erythritol sweetener.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 equal squares.
Serve and enjoy your guilt-free, diabetic-friendly brownies!
