"Skinny" Three-Ingredient Fudgy Brownies

 Skinny and super EASY!  Only 3 ingredients - box brownie mix, bananas and applesauce!  No eggs or oil.


Every box mix is different.  Mine happened to be 1 egg, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 oil.  The applesauce I used as a substitute for the egg.  1/3 cup = 1 egg!  Use unsweetened applesauce.  The banana I used as a substitute for the oil, in equal parts.  The banana does affect the taste of the brownies, but I thought the slight banana flavor was excellent!
  

Little fingers, always in the desserts!!  Sometimes I wish there was a lock on our sunroom door when I take pictures!  The awesome thing about these is that since there are no eggs, you can make these are as gooey as you like.  I baked mine according to the lowest time on the box for an 8 x 8-inch pan and the middle was way underdone.  They were SO good.  Like fudge.  

 Yields 16 Brownies

"Skinny" Three-Ingredient Fudgy Brownies

1 box brownie mix
Substitute 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce for the egg
Substitute equal parts mashed banana for the vegetable oil
Use the amount of water called for
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven according to directions on box.  Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Combine the brownie mix, applesauce and banana in a bowl and stir until everything is combined (about 50 strokes).  Pour into the greased pan and top with the chocolate chips. 

Bake according to package directions.  Let cool before cutting.  Store in the fridge to keep them longer.
