Notes

I used 5 drops of liquid stevia. You can use as much or as little as you'd like.

Frost the brownies with applesauce chocolate frosting.

TO STORE: These brownies must always be stored in the refrigerator, to remain fudgy and firm. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks.

TO FREEZE: Place leftover brownies in a freezer friendly container and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to eating.
