Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
1/4 cup butter melted
1/4 cup applesauce
1 large egg
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp peppermint extract (optional)
Dry Ingredients
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9"x9" pan
Melt butter in a large measuring cup
Add the rest of the wet ingredients and combine
In a seperate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients except the chocolate chips
Combine the wet and dry ingredients then add the chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix
Add the mixture to the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly
Bake for 20-25 minutes, using a toothpick to test for doneness
[optional]: Once cool, drizzle with chocolate!
Notes:
Try not to let the batter sit for too long after you have combined the wet and dry ingredients. Psyllium husk gelatinizes pretty quickly!
