I altered the recipe a little. I cut the flour down to 1.5 C, and used 1/2 a cup of cocoa. I skipped the cinnamon and nuts (I like them, but my family doesn't). The result: Five star chocolatey taste. The texture was a little springy, as you'd expect of a lower fat recipe, but very moist. It held together better than other cakey brownies I've tried.

So easy to make! I used my grandmas homemade applesauce, which is unsweetned because shes a diabetic. I used 1 cup of golden sugar, and instead of nuts i used coconut and I only had white chocolate chips... Turned out delicious!!!

This recipe is fantastic! I did make a couple changes based on other reviews. I used the rest of the bag of chocolate chips (beside the cup on top) in the batter and skipped the walnuts because I don't like them. These are so moist and delicious, I can't keep my kids out of them! Great recipe!

Unbelievable. We used whole wheat white flour and did not put the topping on. They were gone in one sitting. Our next batch we left out the chocolate, increased the whole wheat flour by 2 tablespoons and used only 1 teaspoon of salt. Applesauce blondies! They were also gone in a flash. Great recipe for those who want to eat low calorie!

Loved it! These were more cake-like, but that was good. They were so moist. I put in semi-sweet chocolate chips, it was delicious! My kids ate them all up so quickly, and I didn't feel too bad about that knowing that they were made with applesauce instead of oil, which cuts out the fat.

I would not call these brownies. These are very moist, cake-like brownies with just a slight chocolate flavor. They don't really taste like applesauce, though. They are definitely better the second day when they have had time to set and cool. And we wouldn't have liked them nearly as much without the added chocolate chips, so don't leave those out. Overall, this wasn't a bad recipe, but not one that I will repeat.

I followed this to the "T" and mine a) looks nothing like the pic, lol (mine are very light-colored) and b) mine are VERY "appley"?? Chocolate taste very light, even with all the chips...they were ok to me, hubby LOVED them though!

yummmm! these are very cake-like but probably the best dessert i have ever ate. no joke. and come on they are under 100 calories! :) i cut the recipe in half and put them in a 8x8 pan also i added the chocolate chips in with the batter and i probably put in about 3/4 c. or even maybe a cup. i dont really know, i kinda eye-balled it, and didnt put in the cinnamon or nuts as suggested by another reviewer.

My kids asked if I could give this 6 stars! My oldest daughter made them all by herself- she left out the cinnamon, because the middle sister doesn't like it, and used 1/4 cup cocoa powder. This is definitely much more a cake than a brownie, but, whatever you call it, it is delicious!
