Yes. Absolutely yes. You can do it with applesauce, butter, yogurt, peanut butter, or even mayo. You can do it with a half-empty pantry and a full-on craving. The only thing standing between you and brownies is a quick swap and a little faith.
Go ahead. Preheat that oven. Dig through your fridge like a treasure hunter. You’ve got this. And in about 25 minutes, you’ll be sitting on the couch, nodding like a genius, with a plate of warm, oil-free brownies that taste like victory.
Just don’t tell your health-conscious friends how you made them. That’s our little secret.
