Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the egg whites to the bowl and whisk again until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips for extra richness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 9 squares and serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
