Ingredients

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 18-20 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.
