Tripe Chocolate Brownies

The holidays are nearly over, and the New Year is almost here so we thought it would be a great time to share an extra chocolatey triple brownie recipe! This is the perfect time of year to unwind with some warm baked goodies and what better way to treat yourself than make than these soft and sweet brownies. This recipe calls for some of our rich cacao powder and 2 (or more) types of our chocolate, making the brownies extra rich and flavorful! These brownies are moist and crumbly with a rich flavor and are perfect to enjoy while you relax on a chilly night.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 3/4 cup of flour
• 1/4 cup of KakaoZon Cacao Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup of butter
• 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup of apple sauce
• 1 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 8 squares of a KakaoZon Dark Chocolate Bar or 3 tablespoons of Dark Chocolate Chips*
• 8 squares of a KakaoZon Milk Chocolate Bar or 3 tablespoons of Milk Chocolate Chips* 

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F
2. Combine the sugar, flour, cacao powder, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl and stir well
3. Add egg, butter, Greek yogurt, and apple sauce to the mixture and mix until well combined
4. Next, add in the honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth
5. Fold in the chocolate chips/squares blend in chocolate chips until they are evenly spread through the batter
6. Prepare a brownie pan with non-stick spray or butter and pour the batter in, you may have to spread it to the edges (don’t worry if it doesn’t seem like enough batter, it will rise!)
7. Sprinkle extra chocolate on top if desired!
8. Bake the brownies for 15-20 min (This is for a 9 by 9 brownie pan; you may have to adjust your time depending on the size of pan you use!)
