Ingredients :
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ⅓ cup skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup whole-wheat white flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Ganache:
- 3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Directions :
Oven being preheated to 350° F, spray with nonstick cooking spray a small square (9×9-inch) or rectangular (7×11-inch) baking dish.
Whisk together in a small mixing bowl, the egg, milk, vanilla, oil, and applesauce.
Add in a large mixing bowl the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt and whisk together.
Mix up the wet and dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, until having a perfect mixture.
Then, the brownie batter will be spread in the prepared dish. In this case, it may be thicker. Use the rubber spatula so as to make its top smoother.
Bake for about 18 minutes or when a toothpick stays clean after being inserted in the center of the batter.
Cut into 12 equal squares when cooled.
The ganache can be made by heating the almond milk for 15 seconds, or until hot in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Add the chocolate chips and mix together until having a smooth and melted mixture. Let it rest and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Pour evenly over the cooled brownies.
Use candy-coated chocolate to top the Copycat Cosmic Brownies.
