One half cup Cake flour; sifted
One half cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 Egg whites
1 lg Egg
Three fourths cup Granulated sugar
6 tablespoon Unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8inch square baking pan with
vegetable cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and salt. Mix well. In a large
bowl, whisk together egg whites, egg, sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla.
Stir in flour mixture until just blended; do not overmix. Pour batter into
prepared pan; sprinkle with walnuts.

3. Bake until just set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean,
about 25 minutes.

4. Place pan on a wire rack and cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut brownies
into squares and place on a serving plate. VARIATION: For slightly chewier
brownies, replace the One half cup of cake flour with 7 tablespoons of
allpurpose flour. Sifting is not necessary. Proceed with the recipe as
directed. Also, instead of walnuts, try sprinkling brownie batter with
chopped pecans or almonds.
