CHOCOLATE APPLESAUCE BROWNIES
These chocolate applesauce brownies are so good and easy to make. Serve them with coffee as dessert or have one with milk anytime for a snack. They are wonderful with a scoop of ice cream and great to make hot fudge cakes. I am always looking for something to do with one cup of applesauce I have left in the refrigerator and this is a way to use it up.
Chocolate Applesauce Brownies Ingredients Needed:
All-purpose flour
100% cocoa
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Butter
Chocolate chips
White granulated sugar
Applesauce
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts, (optional)
We love these brownies because the applesauce make them very moist. You can top these with powdered sugar or leave it off. These are made in an 9X9 so it doesn’t make a huge pan of brownies. Perfect for a small occasion! Sometimes you just want a smaller dessert.
