I was craving for something chocolatey the other day. But I was sorta hesitant to bake. You see, our things are almost packed as we're moving this weekend. And I'd have to take out my baking stuff from the boxes and put them back again and it'll mess up the arrangement. I was having an argument with myself the whole afternoon.
Oh, but the craving won. :)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup applesauce/butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- rice crispies (optional)
- marshmallows (optional)
- almond slivers (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.
2. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder).
3. In a saucepan, melt the brown sugar with the applesauce. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
4. Mix in the dry ingredients carefully. Fold in the additional toppings such as marshmallows, nuts, rice crispies, or nuts.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. 6. Let brownies cool for about 20-30 minutes before cutting up and serving.

I love how it turned out. It was moist and gooey and just delicious. The top of the brownies were shiny on top. And I believe letting the sugar dissolve with the applesauce/butter over low heat before mixing in with the other ingredients does the trick! :)
