Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your Skinny Blondies as a lighter but satisfying treat!
