One of my recent baking projects was trying to find and / or create a recipe for some healthier brownies.
I found a few recipes and ended up kind of combining them and then having to modify some ingredients for what I had on hand.
I’m calling these Better Brownies
I think I’m onto something! I still think it needs some modifications, so I’m not posting the exact recipe yet, but here are the ingredients I used:
- unsweetened applesauce
- ff plain yogurt
- vanilla sugar (could use sugar and vanilla extract instead)
- whole wheat flour
- baking cocoa
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- chocolate chips
Check out that crust!
These brownies are so rich and chocolatey. They have a great cocoa flavor and a nice texture – really fudgy, just how we like them. They did take a bit longer to bake than most brownies, but they were so worth it.
I think next time I’ll do half chocolate chips / half walnuts.
I would also use regular sized chips next time, but I only had the mini ones on hand.
First healthy brownie try? A success :) But I think they’ll be even better next time!
Do you have a healthier version of your favorite dessert?

I don’t yet, but I’d LOVE this recipe once you’ve modified it! This might be my favorite treat ;)
This is an awesome recipe thanks for posting this!
Oh yum! I have a few Cooking Light brownie recipes I like, including one that has Kahlua in it, but I haven’t really tinkered with any myself. Well, aside from the attempts at making a box mix with pumpkin or black beans a la Weight Watchers.
I prefer them from scratch and these look great!! I wish you could e-mail me one. :-)
hehehe, I want you to email me a brownie, too :)
Those look sooo good! I love baking with apple sauce.
I make a great apple crisp – way healthier than buying it from the shop with all those added nasty ingredients!
You are amazing. And not just because of these brownies!
Check my blog :)

I love “indulging” it was seems so sinful, but is really so sweet[healthy]! I have many variations on unhealthy desserts, mostly from HungryGirl which totally rocks! Hopefully you’ll reveal this stunning recipe once you perfect it! Thanks =)
