Hello all -

Is there a way I can look up recipes by topic on this site?

For Memorial Day weekend, I am taking dessert to a party and thought about the diet soda cake or possibly brownies. I have the cake recipe...but can you share the Brownies recipe with me? I didn't see it in my search.

Thank you.

    88 calorie brownies:
    Ingredients
    1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    4 egg whites
    1 cup sugar
    1/4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
    Butter-flavored cooking spray

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 inch non-stick cake pan with spray.

    In a medium mixing bowl, using a sturdy whisk or spatula, mix the applesauce, vanilla, egg whites and sugar until they are well combined.

    Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and no lumps remain. Pour it into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chips evenly over the top. Bake the brownies for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry (a few crumbs are okay).

    Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow them to cool 5 minutes. Cut into 12 equal brownies. Makes 12 (1 brownie) servings.

    Each brownie has: 88 calories, 2 g protein, 19 g carbohydrates, 1 g fat, less than 1 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 1 g fiber, 133 mg sodium

    I have looked for espresso powder and I can't find it. Do you have to get it somewhere special? Could it be omitted?

    You can leave it out.. I do and it still comes out yummy.
    The espresso powder is just to enhance the chocolate flavor.
