Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    4 egg whites
    1 cup sugar
    1/4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
    Butter-flavored cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 inch non-stick cake pan with spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, using a sturdy whisk or spatula, mix the applesauce, vanilla, egg whites and sugar until they are well combined.

Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and no lumps remain. Pour it into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chips evenly over the top. Bake the brownies for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry (a few crumbs are okay).

Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow them to cool 5 minutes. Cut into 12 equal brownies. Makes 12 (1 brownie) servings.

Traditional Double Chocolate Brownies have: 260 calories, 3 g protein, 37 g carbohydrates, 12 g fat, 3 g saturated fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 1 g fiber, 165 mg sodium

Devin Says:
The addition of the espresso powder makes these brownies richer and more chocolaty tasting without adding calories. Just be sure you buy instant espresso powder.

These brownies are great for your children's bake sales. No one will ever guess that they are healthier, so you'll be doing everyone a favor.

    I substituted Agave Syrup for the sugar to make it low glycemic and they were AWESOME. Definitely will make again. - 1/2/10

    I have made this twice. The second time , I used half splenda and half sugar with dark chocolate cocoa. This cuts the calories more and tastes great! - 3/6/08

    We LOVE these brownies, I don't suggest subbing Splenda because, as my little guy told me, the brownies with splenda taste like "dirt". So, our first attempt did use the spenda, but every other time I have made them and there have been A LOT of times that I have made them, we use sugar. - 6/5/11

    I've been making this recipe of hers for years... LOVE IT! If you like chocolate and cherries try sticking two or three frozen tart cherries into each muffin before baking... delicious! - 11/23/09

  • They did these same brownies on Dr Drew today but used the 24 mini muffin tin instead, so you ended up getting 48 little brownies and they were like 109 cal for 2. I'm going to make them that way, and see how they come out and then I don't have to worry how big I cut them either. - 8/28/12

  • These were great. I think its because it has splenda that's why the calorie count is at 88. - 7/24/11

  • This are ok but remind me of sponge cake. I am hoping that after sitting they will be more like a typical brownie but I really can not complain for the amount of calories. - 11/3/10

  • Very good and chocolaty. Made with 2 whole egg, 3 egg whites, substitued splenda for 1 cup sugar, then used brown sugar for the rest. Was very good and extremely light in texture almost like the flourless chocolate cake recipes. I would definately make this one again. - 10/17/10
