That's right, vegan brownies that actually taste GOOD. What's more, they don't involve a bunch of ridiculous health food store ingredients and they're super quick to make. Mmmm...tasty easy moist healthy brownies. I don't know about you, but I'm sold! (And I'm not even vegan)

SERVES 9 , 9 brownies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips
1/3 cup walnuts (optional)
1 dash cinnamon (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 and lightly spray or oil an 8 x 8 baking pan.
2
Mix applesauce, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (and cinnamon if using) together.
3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the applesauce mixture. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips (and walnuts if using).
4
Spread in prepared pan and bake 25-30 min, until center is firm and not sticky. Cool completely before slicing.

What I really love about these brownies (along with their chocolaty goodness) is how fast and easy they are. Because they tend to fall apart when cut, I add a flax egg to the mix. Just mix 1 to 1 1/2 T ground flax with 3 T either hot water or coffee and stir until gooey--about the consistency of an egg. Thanks for a great recipe.

As far as vegan brownies go, they are very good! I used 1/3 cup white sugar, substituted 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, cut the baking powder to half. These turned out very chocolatey and I'm very satisfied with the results. next time, I'm going to cut the baking powder+soda even more. For those who like fudgey brownies, these may be a little cakier for your tastes. For a fudgey brownie recipe that is healthier than most but not quite as healthy as these ones, I REALLY recommend: http://lovelikeavegan.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/chunky-monkey-brownies/ However those are not oil/butter free. I love these and I will definately make them again! Thanks!

As a diabetic vegetarian, I've been looking for a healthy brownie recipe that tasted great and didn't send my blood sugar all over the map. This one definitely fits the bill. I think it's better without the nuts, though. NOTE: If you use raw sugar (like turbinado or sucunat) when baking, be sure to slightly increase the liquids in this recipe...in this case, the applesauce. (I even increased the vanilla slightly by about 1 tsp.) Overall, increase liquid ingredients by about 1/8 cup. This is because raw sugar absorbs more moisture than regular granulated, so if you don't compensate, your brownies will come out dry and crumbly. I adjusted for that and they came out great - mostly gooey but with enough cakey consistency to have nice, yummy brownie squares. I would definitely make these again!

As far as "healthy" brownie recipes go, this is fantastic! It's also pretty dang good in the unhealthy brownie arena. These turned out very moist and a good balance between fudgey and cakey, with great mouth feel that didn't turn to paste (as some cakey recipes do) and wasn't doo dense. The chocolate chips were a great touch both visually and texturally. The pic by chiclet made me try them, especially since my mother is vegan and loves chocolate. I couldn't take a pic of my batch b/c my kids got into them while I wasn't looking and there isn't anything picture-worthy left. Thanks for a great, relatively healthy dessert my kids love!
