Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the miniature chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve the brownies at room temperature or slightly warmed for an extra fudgy texture.
