¼ cup regular brewed coffee or decaf, cooled, see prep tip
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg, I love using Egg-land’s Best eggs
1 (20 oz.) box Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat 3 mini muffin trays with cooking spray, with flour in it, see shopping tip.
*Do not use the recipe on the back of the box. Follow my recipe. In a large bowl or electric mixer, mix together the cooled coffee, canola oil, applesauce and egg. Stir in the brownie mix and mix until smooth.
Fill muffin cups about 1 tablespoon each, with batter. Bake for about 16 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in edge of brownie bites comes out clean. Do not over-bake. They should still be fudgy inside. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Serve for a party or freeze them. When in the mood for just a small treat, zap in the microwave for about 20 seconds to defrost.
