Martha Stewart
Prep: 15 minutes Total: 40 minutes, plus cooling
These brownies a la mode get topped with chocolate sauce, nuts, and coconut.
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for ramekins
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
* 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
* 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
* 1 large egg white
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
* 1 pint vanilla frozen yogurt
* toasted sliced almonds and shredded coconut, for topping
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350. Brush eight 8-ounce ramekins with oil; set aside. In a bowl, whisk together flours, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, applesauce, and oil until smooth. Whisk in egg white and vanilla. Add flour mixture; mix just until moistened. Divide batter among ramekins; smooth tops. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until a toothpick inserted in center of a brownie comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a rack to cool completely. (To store, cover ramekins with plastic wrap, and keep at room temperature, up to 2 days.)
3. Assemble sundaes: Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring, until almost completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Top brownies with frozen yogurt and chocolate; serve with additional toppings.
