Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat, plain
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly stir the melted chocolate into the wet mixture, making sure it is completely incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your fudgy, low-fat brownies!
