INGREDIENT NOTES:

GRANULATED SWEETENER:

  • The brownies will become sweet when you use this sweetener. Also, you don’t need to use the sugar, so your dessert is lighter to eat. Use monk fruit sweetener as an alternative as well.

LIGHT BUTTER:

  • Butter will make your dessert moist, and you will feel a flavor in your brownies with it. Here, we will use the light butter so the brownies don’t get too heavy. Add reduced-fat margarine as another choice, too.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Baking powder will also help your dessert become softer, but its main function is to rise them in the oven.

UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:

  • This will not include many fats in your brownies, and they will also become moist. You may add more Greek yogurt if you need another option for this.

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • Adding flour to your brownie batter will make them softer after baking. Also, all-purpose flour gives a shape to your dessert. Add whole wheat flour when you need a different option.

EGGS:

  • Eggs will easily combine with the brownie batter. After baking, your dessert will get soft from using them as well. You may use two egg whites and one egg for an alternative option.

SALT:

  • Adding salt to your recipe will give a better lemon taste. Also, it can easily maintain any extra sweet flavor in your recipe. You may use less of it if you prefer.

PLAIN NONFAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • Your brownies will get moisture from adding this yogurt. Also, this yogurt will give protein to your recipe. Use low-fat plain yogurt for a different idea as well.

FRESH LEMON JUICE:

  • You are making lemon cake brownies, so using lemon juice is the basic thing. Add bottled lemon juice when you require another alternative.

TURMERIC:

  • Turmeric will help your brownies get a yellow color. Add 2 drops of yellow food coloring if you like.

LEMON ZEST:

  • This will give a good color to your brownies, and it will improve the lemon taste as well. You may just use lemon extract for an alternative idea.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • This vanilla extract gives a sweet flavor to your brownies. You may eliminate this ingredient if you prefer.
