My sisters in law for Christmas bought me the pampered chef individual brownie pan which I love….love!! Of course I had to try brownies first but I have Apple Sreusel Crescent Bites in the oven now for breakfast.

This recipe yields 9 brownies (even though the pan is made to yield 12)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup canola oil or (1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup no sugar added applesauce)
1 tsp Mexican Vanilla Extract
1 cup sugar ( or 1/2 cup Splenda for baking and half cup sugar)
2 eggs or <(1/2 cup egg substitute) or (4 egg whites)>
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup Dutch processed cocoa (high quality brand you know my favorite )
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cooking spray mini brownie pan.

2. Take a medium bowl and add oil ( and applesauce if using), vanilla, eggs, and sugar whisk until mixed well.

3. Add salt, baking powder, cocoa and flour and mix until combined.

4. Use scant 1/2 cup or 2 oz scoop to place batter into pan.

Add water in leftover empty vessels to prevent scorching.

Bake for 23 to 25 minutes (test using toothpick method).

Let rest in pan for 5 minutes and move brownies to wire rack for cooling.

Enjoy!
