Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional but recommended)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg whites to the wet mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips (if using) for an extra burst of chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly into the corners.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal-sized squares.
Serve and enjoy your yummy low-fat brownies as a healthy treat!
