How to Make Microwave Good For You Brownies

  1. Preheat your microwave.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup milk (any kind), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Grease an 8x8 inch microwave-safe dish. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  6. For extra moist brownies, drizzle your favorite chocolate sauce over the batter before microwaving.
  7. Microwave on medium-high power for 4-6 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Microwave ovens vary, so keep a close eye on them! Start with 4 minutes then check!
  8. Let the brownies cool in the dish for 10 minutes before adding your chocolate glaze (recipe not included, use your favorite!). Serve warm and enjoy!
  9. (Optional) Cut into squares and serve.
