Healthy No Bake Applesauce Brownies
Healthy No Bake Applesauce Brownies- Thick and fudgy raw brownies
which are completely paleo, vegan, gluten-free and low carb. These no
bake brownies are the guilt-free snack or high protein dessert to enjoy!
Ingredients
For the no bake brownies
- 1 cup coconut flour, sifted
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder Optional
- 1 cup almond butter can use any nut or seed butter
- 1 1/2 cups sticky sweetener of choice I used monk fruit sweetened maple syrup
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
For the frosting
- 1 serving Frosting of choice Optional
Instructions
-
Line an 8 x 8 inch or 10 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. For thicker brownies, opt for the smaller pan. Alternatively, you can use any loaf pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, add your dry ingredients and mix well. In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, combine your almond butter with sticky sweetener of choice. Heat until melted.
-
Pour over the dry mixture and mix until a crumbly texture remains. Add your unsweetened applesauce and mix until a thick batter is formed. If too crumbly, add some milk or liquid to achieve desired texture. Transfer to lined pan and press firmly in place. Refrigerate.
-
While no bake brownies are firming up, prepare your frosting of choice (protein frosting, coconut ganache or melting your favorite chocolate bar). Pour frosting over the raw brownies and refrigerate until firm. Once firm, cut into bars.
Recipe Notes
Protein powder is optional- If you do use it, you may need an extra tablespoon or two of applesauce and/or milk of choice.
No Bake Applesauce Brownies should be kept refrigerated but can be frozen. For fudgier, gooey brownies, enjoy at room temperature.
