How to Make Healthy Spice Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup melted coconut oil.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean due to the moist nature of these brownies).
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
