It should work...but will taste different that normal brownies.

OMG!! No, no, no on the olive oil!! Buy vegetable oil!

Here's a good (and simple) brownie recipe if you want it:

4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour

grease 9x11 baking pan and preheat oven to 350

melt chocolate and butter over low heat, set aside

beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy

fold in melted chocolate

fold in flour

pour into baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until fork inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes and chow down!!

(If you want to add nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in after the flour)

That sounds yummy but then I have to go out and buy vanilla! Can you tell I am not really a baker? I will send some to everyone!

lol - yeah, please do NOT EVER use olive oil for baking brownies! :)

You can also substitue applesauce for oil in some recipes. I've had it before and it comes out about the same!

I've read that replacing the oil with unsweetened applesauce makes the brownies healthier. I've never tried it, but the measurement is the same. Has anyone done that? How does it taste? I always forget to buy the applesauce when I bake. I've started using Egg Beaters and Splenda, which means I can eat more
