Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips for extra chocolatey indulgence.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake, as this will affect the brownies' moist texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your low-fat moist and chewy brownies!
