Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
- 2 unit Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free oat flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and coconut sugar. Stir until well blended.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into 16 squares.
Serve the brownies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
