Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup oat flour (or blended oats)
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust based on desired sweetness)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts (these may increase the point value)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips or nuts.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy! These brownies can be enjoyed warm or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
Serving Suggestions: For a special treat, serve with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
Flavor Variations: You can add a pinch of cinnamon, espresso powder, or a few drops of peppermint extract to enhance the flavor.
Zero Point Adjustments: Keep in mind that the addition of chocolate chips or nuts will increase the points, so adjust according to your dietary needs.
These Zippy Zero Point Brownies are a delicious way to indulge without the guilt, making them a perfect option for any dessert lover! Enjoy your guilt-free treat!
