It seems I have a sweet tooth. Last week, I made lemon bars and tonight I made brownies. And, if these were just any brownies, I wouldn’t be able to fit in my jeans tomorrow with all these delicious desserts running around my kitchen. Lucky for me, I have a recipe that keeps me in my skinny jeans and tames my sweet tooth.

• 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (oat flour, almond, or coconut flour)
• 1/4 tsp. each baking powder and salt
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil (melted)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 tsp. pure Vanilla Extract
• optional: 1/4 cup mini chips or vegan chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 330F.

6. Pour batter evenly into a greased 8x4in. Loaf Pan (for a 13x9in. pan try doubling the recipe).
