Yes, I said brownies.
And, healthy.
In the same phrase.
I know what you're thinking... these have to be another brownie made with black beans!
Sorry to disappoint you. These delicious morsels do not have legumes hidden in them.
But - they do have fruit, and whole wheat flour - and you'd never know.
Meet my friend, the Dark Chocolate Decadent Brownie.
Moist.
Delicious.
Wonderful.
Perfect for date night.
Please excuse the dirty plate. I was already having seconds.

1/3 C applesauce
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips, to taste
Mix together the butter, applesauce, eggs and vanilla. Stir well.
Add in the cocoa, sugar and flour.
Then, add in the desired amount of chocolate chips.

That looks amazing!! I made brownies this weekend replacing the oil with applesauce and I couldn't even tell the difference!
ReplyDeleteoh yum! I might have to make those this week!!
ReplyDeleteThese look absolutely sinful!!! I'm going to have to try them ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThey look so moist! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyummy! :)
ReplyDeleteI have made brownies with applesauce before and they come out moist and seemingly more cakelike rather than brownie like. At any rate, I will eat them either way---applesauce in place of oil or just good ol' oil. :)
These are fantastic. I always want to try new brownie recipes and here you go giving me one.
ReplyDeletehealthy-brownies=oxymoron :D
ReplyDeletesoooo are you going to share HOW low fat they are, huh? hum? They look fabulous. I really don't care how low they are, I have to try these. I love brownies. YUM.
I am a huge fan of applesauce in brownies and love that you added dark chocolate to make it even healthier with antioxidants!
ReplyDeletea little stretch to call them healthy with just that amount of applesauce... but A bit healthier and the moistness will make this a sure winner
ReplyDeleteI love that color. This has become a must do for me. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing!! I can't wait to try them...just as soon as we get finished with our month of no sweets. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering now. Brownies are my weakness.
Stunning! They sound wonderful, even if they are healthy ;D.
ReplyDeleteAre Special Dark chocolate chips not contaminated with tree nuts? IF that is the case, YIPPEEE!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill~
ReplyDeleteHershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips are safe for me to eat! Hershey's has a great labeling plan, and I've found out that their special dark is safe -- no tree nuts for me. They are nice to talk to too, if you ever need to ask questions about allergies.
How wonderful!! I love dark chocolate that it really sounds like a winner to me. Thanks for linking to TMTT.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Have you been spying on me? LOL! I love dark chocolate! These look delish regardless if they are healthy or not! :D
ReplyDeleteI make brownies with beans all the time. Thanks for sharing another healthy alternative
ReplyDeleteHello Brownie! Where have you been all of my life?
ReplyDeleteMmmm...those do look dark & delicious! I bet they are really moist with the applesauce, too!

ReplyDeleteSnoWhite, these are absolutely FABULOUS!!! I made them for my family for the 4th of July and everyone loved them! My Dad is on a special diet and because these are healthy, he could enjoy them, too! Thank you for such a winning recipe! :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! I am so happy that you enjoyed these brownies.
DeleteThese tasted great, but they didn't rise at all. Mine are about 1/2" thick.
ReplyDeleteYou could try adding in 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. baking powder if you want them to rise a bit.
