Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips to add a touch of extra richness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be cautious not to overbake to ensure the brownies stay fudgy.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into 12 equal squares.
Serve and enjoy your fat-free dark chocolate brownies!
