Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your Skinny Blondies as a lighter but satisfying treat!
