1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
⅔ cup white sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup fat-free milk
¼ cup applesauce
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
⅔ cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
1 container (2.5 ounces) prune puree (1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, bring an inch of water to a simmer over low heat. Place chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl; set bowl over pan. Stir occasionally until melted. Remove from heat. Immediately whisk in sugar, egg, egg white, prune puree, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour and cocoa. Stir into chocolate mixture just until incorporated.

  • Stir in your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for added flavor and texture.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares, this will help them hold their shape.
