Hello everyone 👋
It’s been awhile. I just did a quick recap on my last test to see what I did and how I liked it (I forgot what I did and use). I guess it was good! Anyway the inspiration for this test was because for some people canned pumpkin isn’t easily accessible to them. That made me sad 😔. Everyone should be able to have some low cal high protein brownies that you can eat the whole 8×8 (He said the title!). The secret ingredient for today’s test… unsweetened applesauce! TBH I had low expectations for this. Mostly because I added 3g of baking soda (hand slipped) so I was afraid it was going to become more cake than brownie. I ran out of cocoa powder so felt you would taste the applesauce. The end results shocked me! Kinda light when I picked up a slice but didn’t come out like a cake (texture or appearance wise). Nice size. Surprisingly fudgey. Almost looked like a… brownie?!?!?! I really enjoy this more than I should. I love the subtle sweetness you get from the applesauce. Like I mentioned 4 sentences ago, fudgey. Honestly if I had more cocoa powder, this would be the closes (I say at least 90%) I got to a brownie like flavor and texture. I think I liked this more than the pumpkin one. Macros are not bad. Wish it had a little more protein 😤💪. Maybe add cottage cheese next time?
