[I did not have unsweetened applesauce, so used sweetened one, but omitted the sugar. I also changed the flour, to one cup flour and one whole wheat. What came out was great. The next time I will make one other change, instead of unsweetened chocolate I will try it with cocoa. It is three tablespoons per ounce. Jenka Guevara]
