prep: 15 min / cook: 25 min / total: 40 min
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 2/3 c. sugar
- 4 oz. unsweetened natural applesauce
- 1/4 c. whole flaxseeds (I used Tropical Traditions Golden Flaxseed)
- 1 1/2 c. water
- 1 c. whole wheat flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 3/4 c. cocoa powder (I used Now Foods organic)
- 1/4 c. milk (I used skim, but was out of Almond milk)
- 1/2 c. white chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350*. Add softened butter and sugar to mixing bowl and cream until light yellow and no longer grainy. While that mixes, place flaxseeds in your blender. Grind thoroughly. Add the water, and blend for 2 minutes until the mixture is foamy and is of egg-white consistency. (This is a vegan egg replacement for 2 large eggs. Feel free to use real eggs) Allow to sit a few minutes while the butter and sugar finish creaming. Add the applesauce to the butter/sugar mixture and mix well. Add flax "eggs" and mix well. Slowly add in the cocoa, and mix well. Add flour, mix until incorporated then add the milk. Gently mix in the chocolate chips
