This is for my friend Karen!
Today is her birthday! Happy birthday sweet friend!
Here is the recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine and mix well:
2 cups of whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 rounded tablespoon stevia sweetener (I use NuStevia brand...the best tasting)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
Push combined ingredients to one side of the bowl and make two holes (caves) in the mixture.
In one cave, add 1 1/2 tablespoons white or apple cider vinegar
In the other cave add 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
On the empty half of the bowl, add 2 cups of unsweetened applesauce
In measuring cup put 1 cup of filtered water and 1 tablespoon instant coffee (optional)
The coffee really enhances the chocolate flavor though.
Pour the water/coffee mixture into the bowl and mix everything together well.
Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick spray and pour mixture into it.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes
Cool completely before cutting into 24 squares. Each square about 50 calories
They are actually much, much tastier the next day.
Enjoy! Guilt free!

ReplyDeleteI'm loving the picnik photo editing thing! I took this photo just a little while ago and was even able to make a border around it! Isn't it cool?

So sorry the links are not showing up as clickable. I don't know why. I am using Chrome for my blog now as IE wouldn't even let me log into it. :(
ReplyDeleteI knew I would see applesauce in that recipe. What a great friend you are!
