⭐ Applesauce (unsweetened) (Best Fat-Free Option)
3/4 cup applesauce per 1 cup avocado oil Quick tip: Reduces fat content and adds moisture but results in a denser, cakier brownie with less richness.
Applesauce replaces fat with moisture and natural sugars, which can keep brownies moist but changes the texture by reducing fat content. This leads to a denser, more cake-like brownie rather than the fudgy texture avocado oil provides.
Use slightly less applesauce than the volume of avocado oil to avoid excess moisture. Expect longer baking times and monitor for doneness carefully.
The final product will be softer and less rich, with a noticeable difference in mouthfeel and flavor depth compared to avocado oil brownies.
