Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce

• 0.25 cup fat-free milk
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined.

Add the granulated sugar to the applesauce mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

While the brownies are cooling, prepare the chocolate frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the fat-free milk, confectioners' sugar, low-fat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
