Homemade Brownies

Semi sweet chocolate morsels melted and stirred inside a delicious gooey HEALTHY brownie. My take on homemade brownies uses applesauce instead of more oil and sugar. Don't let the applesauce scare you away you won't even know it's in there.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with PAM or equivalent.
  • I use a stand mixer for this recipe. Combine applesauce, oil, eggs, salt, and sugar in a stand mixer bowl. Stir to combine using the paddle attachment.
  • Add flour and coco powder. Stir again.
  • Melt ½ cup morsels in 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between intervals to check consistency. This should take roughly a minute.
  • Add ½ cup morsels to the bowl and stir to combine. Pour all ingredients out of the bowl and into your greased pan.
  • Cook brownies for 25 minutes and let cool approximately 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

I kept the serving size at 9 but I usually chop these up into 12 pieces (228 calories/12 pieces).
