Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the low-fat plain yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the slice comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the slice into 12 equal pieces. Serve and enjoy!
