Ovo: Fudgy Brownies

1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 c Unbleached flour

1 1/2 c Sugar

2 Egg whites

1/2 c Applesauce

1 t Baking powder

1 t Vanilla

2 tb Oil

Walnuts

Spray 8 x 8 pan w/ Pam. In medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder & salt. (measure ingredients before sifting) In large bowl, mix oil & sugar. Wisk in egg, applesauce & vanilla. Combine flour mixture w/ egg mixture. Add nuts. Bake 35-40 minutes @350! In place of the oil I usually use equal an amount of peanut butter w/ a little kahlua heated in the microwave and then add the sugar. These are so incredibly chocolatey and rich that you won't need icing. Enjoy! Lorraine Brooks
