Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a 9 x 4-inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, almond butter, cocoa powder, and sweetener of choice until a smooth batter remains.
Transfer the brownie batter to the loaf pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top looks set.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan completely, before frosting, if desired.

Notes

Almond butter sub: Any nut or seed butter works. I've made these with peanut butter, tahini, sunflower seed butter, and even cashew butter.
Sweetener: I used 5 drops of liquid stevia. You can use as much or as little as you'd like.
Leftovers: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two weeks. They can be frozen for up to 6 months.
