For extra fudgy brownies, use a dark chocolate cake mix and dark chocolate chips. If you prefer a nut-free brownie, simply omit the walnuts. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. A dash of instant espresso powder to the batter will enhance the chocolate flavor. For a chewier brownie, slightly underbake. A few moist crumbs on the toothpick is acceptable.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the brownies release easily. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, semisweet chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, milk, applesauce, and egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to ensure uniform baking. (2 minutes)
04
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness starting at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking. (30 minutes)
05
Step
1 hrs
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will allow them to firm up and prevent them from crumbling. (60 minutes)
