These brownies get an upgrade thanks to the addition of applesauce, which brings natural moisture and a fudgy texture. The simple twist that makes your favorite treat feel a little more nourishing.
Ingredients9 servings
- 7 oz dark chocolate (70%)
- 3 eggs
- ⅔ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup (2 oz) chopped walnuts + 9 walnut halves for topping (or hazelnuts/pecans)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup loosely packed coconut sugar or brown sugar
- Neutral oil for the pan
Directions
1
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl: heat for 1 minute, stir, then heat again for 30 seconds. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted, repeat as needed.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume.
3
Add the applesauce and melted chocolate to the egg–sugar mixture and mix again.
4
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the flour and chopped walnuts and mix until the flour is just incorporated.
5
Pour the brownie batter into a square baking pan lightly greased or lined with parchment paper. Top with walnut halves, then bake for about 25 minutes. Enjoy warm for extra fudginess.
Note: You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler if preferred.
Happy baking 🥰 ☀️
I love to have the nutritional panel for the recipes. Amount of protein, carbs, etc. etc. I try
to figure it all out myself but a nutritionist can do this more accurately.
Reading your article is teaching me expensive, or organic labeled food is not the healthies foods to eat. Your articles and this Ap is teaching me how to shop and eat healthier. I’m 83 in good health and I want to live a healthy life. Thank you.
