These are a nice chewy brownie with great chocolate flavor and not as much fat as a traditional brownie. The icing, however, is not low fat so I suppose you could omit that if desired but I really think it just makes the brownie even better! Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce |
2 cups sugar |
2 whole eggs |
2 egg whites |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/4 cup black coffee |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix applesauce, sugar, whole eggs, egg whites and vanilla in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl mix togeather whole wheat flour, cocoa powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the applesauce mixture and stir well to combine. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 27-37 minutes or until the middle is set. Let cool.
2. For the frosting- combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Spread on cooled brownies.
