Ingredients

• 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk to combine evenly.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips for a touch of indulgence.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).

Step 8

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 9

Cut into 8 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
