Ingredients

• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat, plain
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly stir the melted chocolate into the wet mixture, making sure it is completely incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your fudgy, low-fat brownies!
