Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (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, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg whites until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips for an extra pop of chocolate flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with 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 (not wet batter).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal squares.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
