Super Chocolate 113 Calorie Brownies

Ingredients:

1/4 C unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 egg whites

1 C sugar

1/4 C unbleached, all-purpose flour

1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp instant espresso powder (optional - does not give brownies a coffee flavor)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 C mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 deg. Spray 8" x 8" non-stick cake pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, using a sturdy whisk or spatula, mix the egg whites, applesauce, vanilla and sugar until well combined. Add flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder and salt. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and no lumps remain. Pour it into the prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top. Bake brownies for 20-22 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry (a few crumbs are okay). Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow them to cool 5 mins. Cut into 12 equal brownies. Makes 12 (1 brownie) servings.

These are very rich, so the small brownie is all you need for your chocolate fix and only 113 calories unlike traditional double chocolate brownies, which have 260 calories per serving.
