1 cup All-purpose flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
2 large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions:

16 big servings, 24 servings if you follow the 1 tsp. sugar per
serving guideline of ADA, or try using part sugar/part artificial
sweetener to cut down on calories. The original recipe is almost
like cake.

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Combine oil, applesauce and cocoa. Add sugar and stir until
dissolved. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and
stir into the mixture.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured (or wax paper lined &
sprayed) 9 inch square pan. Sprinkle on nuts. (Still tastes good if
you forget.)

Bake about 20 to 30 minutes or until top is set but edges are not
dried out. Toothpick will come out clean. Cut into 16 or more
squares.

“That's something I've noticed about food: whenever there's a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.”
