Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix, as this could make the brownies less tender.
If using dark chocolate chips, fold them gently into the batter for extra chocolatey bursts.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy and tender.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve as is, or optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light chocolate glaze for extra flair. Enjoy!
