Prep Time
Active time: 15 minutes; Total time: 45 minutes
Prep Notes
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
Cooking Time
30 minutes
Yields
12 brownies
Ingredients
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1 egg replacer egg (Ener-G Egg replacer recommended)
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
1/2 cup whole-grain spelt flour or regular whole wheat flour
1/2 cup raw walnut, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the maple syrup, applesauce, egg replacer, and vanilla and whisk until well blended. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Add the maple surup mixture to the flour mixture and gently fold them together with a rubber or wooden spatula. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top of the brownie block is firm to the touch, about 30 minutes.
Once baked, place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 1 hours. Use the parchment to pick up the brownie block and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice into 12 squares; for clean cuts, wipe the knife after each cut and dip in hot water.
Notes
Every now and then we all want something chocolaty, and these brownies do the trick every time. They are moist and rich and full of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate flavor, without the added oils.
