Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional, for richer flavor)
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray an 8x8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee (if using) until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies dense.
Step 5
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and evenly spread it to all corners. If desired, sprinkle the top with mini dark chocolate chips for extra flavor.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake, as this can dry out the brownies.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 12 equal-sized squares.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy your rich, fat-free brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
