"These brownies are a result of my tampering with a regular brownie recipe and obtaining an amazing result. They are so moist and fudgy that you'll never know they're good for you!"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coffee flavored extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch square pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the applesauce, white sugar, egg whites and butter until smooth. Mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract and coffee extract. Combine the cocoa, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the sugar mixture just until incorporated. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, but the brownies are still moist. Cool, and cut into squares.

I like the idea of making treats and snacks for my family a little healthier, so I tried this recipe. My family loved it! I used chocolate chips but no nuts (some in my family don't like nuts), and I think the chocolate chips keep it from tasting too different from regular brownies.

These really are amazingly delicious. They have a very soft, velvety texture and are more like chocolate cheesecake than a chewy brownie. I didn't have any coffee extract so I just used 1/2 t coffee granules instead, and subbed oil for butter. Mine were done at 20 minutes, so watch yours carefully because these are fantastic brownies.
