Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Brownie Layer
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
Cookie Layer
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
Prepare the Brownie Layer
  1. In a medium bowl, mix applesauce and sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk well.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder, almond flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Cookie Layer
  1. In another bowl, mix applesauce and sugar until combined.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly.
  3. Gradually add oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
Assemble the Brookies
  1. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on top and gently press to cover the brownie layer as much as possible.
  3. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  4. Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing

Notes

Why This Works:

  • Regular sugar provides a familiar sweetness, while the rest of the ingredients (like oat flour and dark chocolate) keep the recipe lighter and more nutrient-dense than traditional brookies.
Enjoy your healthier brookies with the convenience of pantry staples!
