Ingredients

• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large egg white
• 2 tablespoons mini dark 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 medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg whites until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips for an extra pop of chocolate flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 8

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal squares.

Step 9

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
