Your just replacing the oil with the applesauce..which is very interchangeable..pumpkin bars you can do the same thing..it lessens the fat and calories of baked goods..so I would imagine they still tast like brownies..I know I have done this with even Pillsbury mixes..0

Sounds yummy!!! I have also replaced butter / margarine in recipes (recently in banana bread) with cold-milled flax (I got a big bag at Costco) and it actually was good! It has omega-3 in it too
so win-win to replacing fats with good stuff!

Flour---- All purpose flour? I like to use whole wheat but I'm assuming the lack of baking power and flexibility would mess with the taste ... any suggestions? A mix of the two or something.0
