Chewy Cupcake Brownies * 14-Dec*
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar, firmly packed
1 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar, firmly packed
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp table salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp vinegar, cider
1 1/2 tsp margarine, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In a second bowl stir together remaining ingredients. Pour water mixture over flour mixture and stir until batter is smooth.
Pour into a nonstick 12-hole muffin tin coated with cooking spray, filling until half full. Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove from oven. Let sit 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack to completely cool.
1 point each if you make 12 or half a point each if you make in the little baby muffin trays.
I recommend using the little muffin tray because then you can have two for a point. Try dusting them with icing sugar or putting a maraschino cherry in the middle (just be sure to dry it first). They are chewy little morsels of heavenly goodness!
