Ingredients:
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Use a 8×8 inch pan, lightly butter or spray with cooking oil spray. Line it with parchment paper with sides up. So it will be easy to lift after it bakes. Again butter or spray the parchment paper. Set aside.
3. Place butter and chocolate in a bowl. Melt in the microwave for 40 seconds. (You can melt them by using double boiler method). Once melted, stir to make it smooth. Set aside.
4. Add apple sauce and sugar in large enough bowl. Whisk it until sugar dissolves. Then add water, vanilla extract and melted chocolate. Whisk it well until it gets incorporated well.
5. Then sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). Add dry ingredients to the wet. Again mix until everything is incorporated well.
6. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Even it out with a spatula and tap the pan on the countertop a few times to get rid of air bubbles.
7. Bake it into the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
