Ever since I had my son, I've been suffering from an INTENSE sweet tooth. I mean, it's rough. Every night I need to have a taste of something sweet or there will be some problems.
I got out a box of brownie mix recently and I realized I was pouring in a half cup of oil. Considering I usually eat most of the brownies myself, I Googled some alternatives.
Which leads me to today's tip: I read that you can swap applesauce for the oil and it will keep the brownies moist. Because it's so much chocolate, you can't really taste the applesauce. I tried it - and it works.
The brownies do come out more on the cake side rather than the gooey, fudgy sweets I like so much, but with less than half the calories, I guess I can live, right?
