20 brownies
ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup double-strength hot brewed coffee
- 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup natural unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together into a large bowl. Add the coffee and corn syrup. Blend with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add the applesauce, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely blended. Add the flour. Fold in the yogurt with a wooden spoon just until it is incorporated.

- Remove from the oven, place on a rack, and cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm new to cooking, but love to try new recipes! For some reason, baking has always come more naturally to me than cooking (I think I'm just good at following recipes to a T), although I've gotten better!
When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm a graduate student in Toronto, ON, studying Communication and Culture. I'm also a big fan of video games and television (can you say, "bad addiction to The Food Network"?).
