RICH AND CHEWY LOW FAT BROWNIES
Amazingly rich and chewy, you would never know these are low fat. I have people asking me for this recipe whenever I make it. The applesauce is the secret ingredient in these delicious brownies! One suggestion I have to make them fudgier is to use a very high quality cocoa. I usually use Watkins or Epicure Selections and found a big difference from that and the kind you can buy in the store. It makes them a real dark chocolate in the middle and they are rich and chewy! This recipe also doubles well and will fit into a 9x13 pan.

MY BLACK BEAN BROWNIES (LOW FAT, LOW SUGAR)
You can add a small or medium banana (very ripe) that you puree with the other liquid ingredients. You can also add up to 1/2 cup melted butter if desired, and as much sweetener as you like. Sometimes I use pinto beans, which make a lighter colored brownie. For a Mexican chocolate taste, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.

Tips:
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder: This will help reduce the overall sugar content of the brownies and give them a more intense chocolate flavor.
- Use a combination of sweeteners: This will help create a more balanced sweetness and prevent the brownies from becoming too cloying. Use a combination of granulated sugar, brown sugar, and stevia or monk fruit extract.
- Use Greek yogurt or applesauce: This will help add moisture and richness to the brownies without adding a lot of fat. Use unsweetened Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce.
- Use whole wheat flour or oat flour: This will help increase the fiber content of the brownies and make them more filling.
- Add some protein powder: This will help boost the protein content of the brownies and make them a more satisfying snack.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the brownies and make them crumbly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
