How to Make Fudgy Low Fat Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. (Spray with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess)
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine over low heat.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. For easier cutting, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts.
  9. Store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
