Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 units large egg whites
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the egg whites to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
If you are using dark chocolate chips or chunks, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into 12 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy your nearly no fat fudge brownies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
