This was another recipe I searched for online since the kids in last week’s cooking class requested brownies for our final day. I made these brownies exactly according to the recipe, and they turned out great! I will be making these again but will try replacing the butter with coconut oil or extra light olive oil. I will also decrease the sugar by 1/4 cup and add in 1/4 cup of local honey to replace it. We topped off our brownies with fresh whipped cream and strawberries!
-
1/4 cup organic butter
-
1/2 cup organic sugar
-
2 eggs
-
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/3 cup white whole-wheat flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven until brownies are just set in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
