Chocolate Brownies with strawberries and cream

This recipe definitely satisfied a craving for chocolate, and although they are made in a cupcake tin, they are more like brownies than cupcake.  Delicious little round brownies 🙂  The addition of strawberries and cream was a yummy one that I’d recommend. It really bulks up this little guy so you feel like you’re having a real, full sized dessert, without many calories.  Enjoy.

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp splenda brown sugar

• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

2. Mix wet and dry ingredients together, and stir until well mixed and not too lumpy.
3. Divide batter between 10 cups in a standard muffin tin (no liners). Spray tin well with non-stick spray first.
