Chocolate Brownies

These brownies are delicious! For something that is whole grain and low fat, I can’t complain. My husband and I ate them with strawberries and vanilla frozen yogurt – perfect on a warm spring evening.

Modified from Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean cookbook

¾ cup dark chocolate, melted in a double boiler
½ cup organic sugar cane
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3 egg whites
2 whole eggs
¼ cup regularly brewed coffee
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup spelt flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine sugar, apple sauce, egg whites, whole eggs, coffee and vanilla. Once that is well mixed, add melted chocolate.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.

Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Let brownies cool before cutting.
