Mmmmm Brownies.


I just tried a recipe, that I've wanted to try for years. It's from the Moosewood Low fat Cookbook by Molly Katzen. These came out so moist, and delicious! I can't tell at all that they're low fat!

Our Best No-Butter Brownies


Cook Time: 30-35 minutes (Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)


1 cup unbleached white flour (or 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour)

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 large egg white


Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Prepare a baking pan that is about 8x11 inches with cooking spray or a light coating of oil (7x11 baking pan is ok, it just makes thicker brownies).Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.In a saucepan, melt the chocolate in the oil on medium-low heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in the corn syrup and applesauce. Add the brown sugar and vanilla and beat with a mixer or by hand for a bout 2 minutes, until creamy. Add the egg and egg white and beat for another minute or so until smooth.Fold in the sifted dry ingredients until just mixed and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 –35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
