Absolutely, let’s whip up some Skinny Fudgy Brownies for guilt-free indulgence:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup coconut sugar or another low-calorie sweetener
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, and coconut sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour (or almond flour), and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy your Skinny Fudgy Brownies!
These brownies are a healthier version without sacrificing the rich, fudgy goodness. Feel free to experiment with different low-calorie sweeteners or mix in some chopped nuts for added texture. Happy baking!
