Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened apple purée or sauce (I use a tin of apple sauce)

1/3 cup cocoa powder

3/4 cup self-raising flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

3/4 cup (70g) walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 175°C and line a 20x20 cm baking dish with baking paper.

Step 2

Place apple purée in a medium-sizedbowl. Sift in cocoa, flour and baking soda. Add sugar and salt and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix as this will toughen the brownies. Gently folding chocolate chips and walnuts. Transfer to prepared baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the centre feels set and fudgy when a skewer is inserted.

Step 3

Cool in dish for 5-10 minutes before turning out. Cool completely before slicing in squares.
