How to Make Chewy Gooey Low Fat Vegan Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup vegan margarine (like Smart Balance Light). Let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together the melted margarine and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and mix until combined.
  7. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup pumpkin puree.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Stir in 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional).
  10. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  11. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. (Do not overbake!)
  12. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. For an extra special treat, add ½ - 1 teaspoon peppermint extract for delicious Mint Brownies!
