Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
If using mini chocolate chips, fold them gently into the batter at this stage.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (don’t overbake, as this can dry them out).
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before cutting them into 12 squares and serving.
