Brownie Recipe from last nights Losing it with Jillian
Fudge Brownies
These brownies are outrageously moist and intensely chocolaty. Whip up a batch the next time you're jonesing for chocolate and you won't be disappointed.
Makes 16 two-inch squares
Ingredients
•Olive oil spray
•2/3 cup mild honey, such as clover or orange blossom
•1/3 cup natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
•1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
•1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
•1/4 teaspoon baking soda
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
•2 tablespoons olive oil
•1 large egg, at room temperature
•3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8" square pan with olive oil. Set aside.
Place the honey in a large glass measuring cup. Microwave on high until the honey is runny and just bubbling, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the cocoa and stir with a fork until well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, place the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, egg and vanilla. Whisk together until well blended. Add the honey and cocoa mixture, then whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and stir until no traces of flour remain. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until the surface looks dry around the edges of the pan and 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 and let cool completely before slicing into 16 two-inch squares. Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

olive oil??? Really? That just doesn't sound good.
On a funny side note. A few years ago my husband try to surprise me by making a brownie mix. The minute I walked in the house, I knew something was wrong. I tried one of the brownies and they tasted like french fries.
My husband, God bless him, had read "vegetable oil", had bypassed the bottle canola oil because he had never heard of such a vegetable, dug into the bowels of my pantry to find a jug labeled vegetable oil, which as it turns out was my fry oil. :noway:0 -

Olive Oil is actually good for you, I would have to rewatch the show on what it replaced, but it was a better alternative0 -
