Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with mini cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg whites to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out mostly clean but with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these low-fat brownie bites as a delightful and satisfying treat!
