Brownie Cupcakes

I've been holding onto this recipe for a while.....and I just don't know why! But today I decided to tweak it and make it. When I first looked at it, I thought something was just not right......only 3/4 cup flour? Yup! I tried one and thought it was good. I asked my husband (who normally doesn't eat any of the baked stuff I make) to try one and he said "Hmmmmm." I asked if that was a good Hmmmm or a bad Hmmm.....and he said they have alot of flavor. YAY!!!!!  These are so easy to make......and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry & fridge. So go make them!!!

BROWNIE CUPCAKES

Makes 12 Brownie Cupcakes

1 Brownie Cupcake = 2 PointsPlus™

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup PLUS 1 TBSP firmly packed brown sugar
3 TBSP unsweetened cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 TBSP light butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350º. Spray muffin pan.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa, baking soda & salt.

In a smaller bowl, mix together the water, applesauce, vinegar, butter & vanilla.

Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and stir until smooth.

 

Pour into muffin pan, filling each @1/2 full.

Bake 18 – 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.

Let stand in pan 5 minutes and then remove to cooling rack.

MY SPIN: This originally called for less butter. I 'accidentally' put more in and it is delicious! Mine only made 11.
