Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.66 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.33 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
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-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk or fork until slightly frothy. Add the granulated sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Stir until the mixture is just combined—avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Step 8
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 12 equal pieces. Enjoy!
