What is a Brownie

A brownie is a square or rectangular chocolate baked dessert. Brownies have different forms like fudgy or cakey or gooey, which depends on their density. They may include a different kind of nuts, frosting, cream cheese, chocolate chips, or other ingredients. Brownies are an international dessert that is usually made with eggs and came under exotic dishes.

Traditional brownie making requires dark or semi- sweet chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and a small quantity of raising agents. They are high in fat and sugar content to give a fudgy and flaky texture. Instead of chocolate, in this recipe, we are using both light and dark colored cocoa powder that does not only gives a nice chocolate color but also a rich chocolatey flavor. These brownies are cakey and gooey in texture. The use of applesauce in the recipe cut down the quantity of sugar. These healthy brownie made with applesauce are low in sugar as well as fat and tastes delicious.
