Several changes to this recipe 1/4 cup each oil and butter. 1 tsp Almond extract. 1/4 cup cocoa powder. I also did 3/4 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown which gives it a nice flavour as well as cuts down on the sugar. Next time I will cut it even more sugar as these still were quite sweet. 2 Tbsps Chia seeds and greased my pan with coconut oil. I will also try adding flax seeds instead of Chia for the health addition. Baked for 45 minutes. They were cake like on the first day and more like a brownie the next day. I did put the nuts and chips in the batter wich I prefer.

Umm!! Delicious! The applesauce made them stay wonderfully moist forever without actually making the chocolate taste like apples.

i baked this today, made 1.5 out of the original recipe, added 1 tsp. brandy, 1 tsp. vanilla paste, there`s no baking soda sold here so i used baking powder doubled the yield, added 1 tsp. of instant coffee to have that bitter after taste, overall it`s very satisfactory, not the typical brownies but who cares, it melts in your mouth, that`s what matters most to me!

definately like a very moist delicious chocolate cake. I used just 1/4 c oil, and the rest was applesauce - which I couldn't taste in the finished product. I put the choc chips in the batter. I also doubled the cocoa and made a peanut butter frosting as someone else had suggested - the frosting itself was also much healthier than most frostings (as long as you consider pb healthy) - I mixed pb,skim milk, a little powdered sugar, and some cornstarch until I got the right texture and taste I wanted. The cornstarch allows you to thicken the frosting without adding buckets of powdered sugar. The result- a decadent dessert that I can't convince myself when eating that it isn't deathly for the diet

I just made these and I think they were fantastic! They are definitely a "cakier" type brownie. I added another 1/4 C of cocoa, and might add more next time ( i love chocolate!). I also subbed the sugar for Splenda...I don't always do this because it can taste funny, but you can't even tell with this one. the cinnamon in these brownies is my favorite part! :)

Had an obvious apple taste to it, I added more cocoa powder, but omitted the chocolate chips because I didn't have any. Maybe that was the problem. Decent enough though.

My husband loves these. He now prefers these brownies to the box brownies. I feel better making these as they are not as bad for you. They have a cake like consistency which we both like. I love the taste that the cinnamon adds to the brownies. They are very easy to make. Can be a week night treat. We add the chocolate chips to the batter instead of putting on top.

The texture of these brownies was great, but the people I fed them to definitely noticed they weren't your usual brownies. I enjoyed them though!

CRAZY review: I used 1/2 stewed prunes and 1/2 applesauce. Tripled the cocoa. Did not put sugar on top, only choc chips and nuts. The cakey brownie tasted good, but it was the choc chips on top that made it even better.

I was disappointed it was more of a cake than a brownie. Taste and texture was good as a cake. I will not make this if I want a brownie.

I was eager to try this recipe, given the previous reviews and its lower-fat status. I made half a recipe (in a 8x8), added twice as much cocoa (so that would be 2 tbsp) and added the chocolate chips into the batter (and served with a little drizzled chocolate syrup atop) and it was BEYOND DELICIOUS. I couldn't believe something could be so moist and not just fall apart. I couldn't remotely taste the applesauce, the amount of cocoa was perfect, and if anything tasted "off," the chocolate chips made up for it tenfold. I will DEFINITELY be making this all the time - my SO and myself ate practically half the pan in one sitting! Highly recommended, thanks a bunch for sharing!

The nuts and chocolate went into the batter, it was good that way. It tastes more like applepie than brownies. But not bad. Our 1.2-year-old couldn't get enough. :)

Definitely not a brownie but still a very good (and healthier) chocolate cake. Like other reviewers suggested, I used more cocoa powder and added chocolate chips and nuts directly to the batter.

Very soft and moist and were even better the day after. They could've had more flavour (I did double the cocoa), but mixing in the nuts and chocolate chips helped.

Very moist and tasty. However, a jelly roll pan was not big enough for this recipe. The brownie mixture made a huge mess at the bottom of my oven. Will use a larger pan next time.
