{ Brownies Sans Guilt }

{ you will need }

{ combine all ingredients excluding honey & cocoa }

{ organic vanilla extract }

{ apple sauce replaces cane sugar }

{ 2/3 Cup warm honey + 1/3 Cocoa }

{ combine }

{ stir }

{ mix with other ingredients }

{ grease pan }

{ final product }
I won't lie to you, diet food NEVER tastes the same as the good 'ol fattening stuff.  Organic brownies don't at all taste like traditional brownies- but that doesn't mean they don't taste good =). I am absolutely in love with this recipe because the cane sugar is replaced with honey and applesauce (which makes them super moist, and yummy). Each brownie only has about 77 (happy) calories. The original recipe is from the Jillian Michaels cook book, but being the control freak I am, have tweaked it a bit. 

Recipe:
2/3 cup Honey
1/3 cup Powdered Unsweetened Cocoa
2/3 cup Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Egg
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1/2 Applesauce

p.s. brownies + cafe au lait = guilt free snack =)
