Serves 16
| 2/3 c. mild honey |
|
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder |
| ½ c. white whole wheat flour |
|
¼ tsp aluminum free baking powder |
| ¼ tsp baking soda |
|
¼ tsp salt |
| ½ c. unsweetened applesauce |
|
2 tbsp olive oil |
| 1 large egg |
|
¾ tsp pure vanilla extract |
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8″ square pan with olive oil. Set aside.
2. Place the honey in a large glass measuring cup. Microwave on high power until the honey is runny & just bubbling, 45 to 60 seconds. Add cocoa & stir with a fork until well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Whisk until well combined.
4. In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, egg, & vanilla. Whisk together until well blended. Add honey, cocoa mixture & whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture & stir until no traces of flour remain. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Bake until the surface looks dry around the edges of the pan & a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, about 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Place the pan on a cooling rack & let cool completely before slicing into 16 squares. (Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days)
6. Cover pot & let soup simmer on low for 30 minutes.
7. Serve in a bowl, top with spoon full of sour cream & shredded cheese.
