How To Make Brownies From Chocolate Cake Mix

Making brownies from cake mix is relatively easy because there is very little difference between cake and brownies. All it takes is a slight adjustment to the mixing and baking instructions and you'll have hot, delicious brownies in no time. This low-fat recipe yields denser, cake-like brownies and uses unsweetened applesauce in place of the 1/3 cup of cooking oil in most recipes. The apple sauce adds moisture without all of the fat.

Things You'll Need

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 8-by-8 inch brownie pan

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat the brownie pan with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Combine the cake mix, eggs, water and apple sauce in a large bowl. Mix until slightly lumpy.

3. Pour batter into greased pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. Cool in the pan before serving.
