Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar substitute until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake:
    • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy your low-point lunch lady brownies!
