brownies made with applesauce instead of oil??

[@bby]

i am looking for the recipe for that use applesauce instead of the oil in brownies?
i made it one time when i was in girl scouts but that was like 10 years ago

im sending Db some brownies and he is all about losing a little weight. so he told me to send whatever but i wanted to cut the oil. i mean i know brownies arent the best thing to send him when he is trying to lose the weight but he wants them and i figured something homemade would be a good thing for his miserable time right now


TIA

I substitute applesauce for oil in all my brownies. It's just a substitution; use any brownie recipe and just use an equal amount of applesauce instead of oil.

You can also substitute mashed pumpkin/squash/sweet potatoes the same way.

I do it too. I don't automatically put the same ammount of applesauce as oil though. Sometimes I put a bit more if it's muffins. Applesauce rocks in baking!

not sure if you've tried the other recipes yet, but here's the brownie mix and pumpkin one:

i had some friends try them and didn't tell them until after that only pumpkin was in them. they didn't notice the difference! i'm not sure how these will hold up for shipping though..

I substitute with pancakes all the time. So good.

I do this with everything, even cakes. Just sub the amount of oil they call for with applesauce. So if it calls for 2/3 cup of oil use 2/3 cup of applesauce. It tastes the same. I've seen people use veggies on cooking shows to sub for the oil to add some more nutrients. All you need is the moisture from something to make up for the oil

Does that change the taste? I think DH would kill me if his brownies tasted like apples, lol
