1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line a 9x13 inch pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the sides, and lightly grease.
2
Melt the butter. Stir in applesauce, sugar and vanilla.
3
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs (just to break the yolks) and add to the butter mixture.
4
Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Gently stir into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix.
5
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. I find it best to check at 25 minutes. When a toothpick inserted into the middle of the pan comes out with a few crumbs attached, remove brownies and cool completely. Gently use the foil overhang to lift the brownies from the pan and slice with a plastic knife (for cleaner edges).
6
Note: You can use 1 cup of butter for these and omit the applesauce. I just use applesauce because it's healthier and keeps the brownies very moist.
