Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
¾ cup cocoa powder (example – Nestle or Hershey)
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
2 eggs
½ cup applesauce
1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
2 tsp vanilla
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds
Powdered sugar for dusting
Preheat oven 350 degrees:
Butter two – 8x8 baking pans and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the sugar, cocoa, all-purpose flour and baking powder.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly stir in the applesauce, yogurt and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until the batter just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Let cool and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
These brownies are a treat for you and your figure.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

I love brownies with applesauce and yogurt - they are so moist and you never miss the oil at all! These look absolutely fantastic! :)
And to think, I always thought that was an oxymoron! These look great.
Hi Catherine, thank you for dropping by..glad I found yr blog too! I like the title of this post - 'figure friendly'. Haha. I love brownies and I don't really mind if they're figure friendly or not :)
This is a great recipe. I'm nuts about brownies but don't have them often because of the fat and calories. I'll have to try these soon!
