These are not at all a fudgy brownie, more like a fudgy chocolate cake but then, I wasn't looking for a fudgy brownie or else I would have just made my The Real Mccoy Brownies. I went looking for this because I wanted two layers of cakey brownie so I could put a layer of marshmallow cream in the center and I frosted it with a good chocolate liquor flavored frosting. OMG amazing! Who would believe these are low-fat? I also added some extra vanilla for a better flavor.

Good recipe, but I think the texture could still be improved.

Dark, decadant and delicious! These are great, Kree. I halved the recipe - and I must warn anyone who tries to do this! Recipezaar's conversion seems to think that half of 1/3 cup is 1/4 cup. Which it is not- its 1/ 6 of a cup, which is about 2 2/3 Tbs. So I just used a scant 3 Tbs of the applesauce and oil I did substitute the egg whites with 1 whole egg (again, that is for a half recipe- its 1 whole egg for every 2 whites) and used Sucanat instead of sugar (and I only used a heaping 3/4 cup measure). I also added 1/3 cup walnuts, because I love my brownies with nuts. Lowfat or not, these are divine! They are nice and dark and very moist and tender. OMG, these smell so good when they're cooking and taste even better. I think next time I might try subbing the boiling water with hot coffee for an even darker brownie (mmm!) and I might try using melted butter instead of the oil (I know you don't do dairy, Kree, but I sort of missed the butteriness) or add a bit of salt. Kree, this is a real winner. One of the best brownie recipes I've ever tried, lowfat or not! Thanks for posting.

These were the best low fat brownies I have ever tasted. You would never know these were low in fat. I will be making these as part of my christmas goodie tray. I think I will top them with a mocha frosting.
