Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9x9 pan.
• In a mixing bowl mix cream your melted butter and sugar together. Then add your vanilla extract, and apple sauce in as well.
  
  Next, in a second mixing bowl, mix together your flour, carob powder, flax, baking poweder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well!
• Now add your wet ingredients to your dry, and blend them together gently. Then add in your carob chips.
• Pour your brownie batter into your sprayed baking pan and allow this to bake for 30-45 minutes. Time will vary by the oven, so watch your brownies! You may test them as well with a tooth pick from time to time to evaluate readiness.
• The one caution I might add is be careful not to over bake. Over baking these will result in you having dry and hard brownies. You want them moist and fudgy.
