All-Season Vegan Brownies

All-Season Vegan Brownies
(this is what I call them, my SIL, Janna, found the recipe somewhere online I think)

10 oz. applesauce (or full 16 oz. jar if using cocoa powder)
8 oz. melted baking chocolate (or one full 8 oz. can cocoa powder)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups Vegan sugar
1 mashed ripe banana
1 1/3 cups flour
2 cups chocolate chips (or 2 dark chocolate bars chopped)

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix together all ingredients. Pour into an 8x8 pan. Bake 35 minutes.
These are going to be extremely fudge-like. I let them cool completely, then freeze them. When you want some, take a knife run under hot water, and slice off a little. They are sooo chocolatey! We had a batch last over 6 weeks this way!
