Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Boiling water
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 for greasing pan Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Let it cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Whisk in the egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix as this can affect the brownie texture.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish 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 attached. Do not overbake.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 equal squares.
Serve and enjoy your guilt-free, low-fat fudge brownies!
