Description
Soft and chewy on the inside with a lightly crisp exterior—these rich double‑chocolate fudge bites deliver indulgence at approximately 76 calories per cookie, with just a handful of simple ingredients and vegan-friendly tweaks.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons all-purpose plain flour
2 tablespoons zero-calorie brown sugar (or equivalent granulated sweetener)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
30 g unsweetened applesauce (acts as binder, instead of eggs/fat)
1 teaspoon olive oil (or another neutral oil)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
10 g dark chocolate chips (optional: use sugar-free or vegan chips)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sweetener, cocoa, and baking soda.
Add applesauce, oil, and vanilla; stir until a dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop into three equal cookie-sized balls; place on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 8 minutes, then let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a rack—they’ll be quite soft but firm up as they cool.
