Amazingly Delicious Whole-Grain Brownies

These brownies are a result of my tampering with a regular brownie recipe and obtaining an amazing result. They are so moist and fudgy that you’ll never know they’re good for you!

Original recipe makes 12 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup applesauce
3/4 cup white sugar
2 egg whites
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coffee flavored extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8×8 inch square pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together the applesauce, white sugar, egg whites and butter until smooth. Mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract and coffee extract. Combine the cocoa, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the sugar mixture just until incorporated. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, but the brownies are still moist. Cool, and cut into squares.
