Instructions: Whisk together oil, both sugars, egg, applesauce & vanilla until blended.

Whisk in cocoa until blended. Stir in flour, salt & baking powder until combined.

Pour into an 8 x 8 square baking pan that has been sprayed with Pam. Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes. Sprinkle brownies evenly with chips & marshmallows. Return to oven & bake until marshmallows are lightly golden & a small knife inserted in the center comes out clean (about 5-8 minutes). Cool in pan on a wire rack.

NOTES : I just tried this brownie recipe out of Richard Simmons new book & thought they were pretty good. I adapted it a bit. The original recipe included 3 tbsp on peanuts sprinkled over the top but that jumps the fat to 8g (34%) per brownie.

I also used the European-style cocoa.
