So here we are at the first of a New Year, and if I had to guess I’d say you’ve probably had your fair share of indulgent treats by now. Maybe you’re looking for a healthier treat that’s still decadent to bring to that dessert table, or maybe you’re stockpiling recipes to see you through those New Years Resolutions — and these Healthier Fudge Brownies are here for you!
I was a little nervous about how these would turn out, but they turned out so well I just couldn’t believe it. I really couldn’t believe all of the healthy swaps and reductions I’d made, and they were still dense, rich and fudgy. I swapped the butter for a combination of coconut oil and unsweetened applesauce, I drastically reduced the sugar from my favorite recipe, and I use 100% whole wheat flour. A sprinkling of chocolate chips is all you need to make these the perfect healthy treat for the New Year!
These brownies make just one 8×8-inch pan, but they are so good you may want to indulge a little more! If you’re baking to share, feel free to double the recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Or store some extras in the freezer for when those chocolate cravings hit! Here are some more brownie recipes for you to enjoy!
