Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake to perfection.
- Prepare Pan: Spray an 8″ square baking pan with cooking spray, ensuring an easy release of your brownies once baked. Set aside for later use.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the Egg Beaters egg substitute, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. A few gentle folds should suffice to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the brownies are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes. This allows the brownies to set and develop their characteristic texture.
- Slice and Serve: After cooling, cut the brownies into squares of your desired size. Serve and enjoy these Amazingly Easy Brownies as a delightful treat for any occasion.
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent twist, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain the desired texture of the brownies.
