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:
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- 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.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 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.
- 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!
