Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Bittersweet chocolate
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.33 cup Matzo cake meal
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 cup Optional chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, applesauce, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly mix the melted chocolate into the wet ingredients, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Fold in the matzo cake meal and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
If desired, gently fold in the optional chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for extra fudginess).
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 12 squares and enjoy these fudgy, Passover-friendly brownies!
