Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for ramekins
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 pint vanilla frozen yogurt
Toasted sliced almonds and shredded coconut, for topping

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush eight 8-ounce ramekins with oil; set aside. In a bowl, whisk together flours, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, applesauce, and oil until smooth. Whisk in egg white and vanilla. Add flour mixture; mix just until moistened. Divide batter among ramekins; smooth tops. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until a toothpick inserted in center of a brownie comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a rack to cool completely. (To store, cover ramekins with plastic wrap, and keep at room temperature, up to 2 days.)
Assemble sundaes: Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring, until almost completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Top brownies with frozen yogurt and chocolate; serve with additional toppings.
