Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
In a separate large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips for a touch of indulgence.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 8 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
