I make most of my food from scratch and I love brownies. I like the fudginess, softness and sweetness! I feel like if I make them myself, I can control the ingredients I use.
One thing I do not like, when things come out – and the texture and taste greatly varies from the real thing. If I want a brownie, I want a brownie. I don’t want a soggy heap of mess, you know what I’m saying? If you have ever made anything flourless, you know what I am talking about. There is no squinting enough.
It’s disappointing.
The reason I wanted to perfect this recipe, is because there isn’t a lot of options. You can’t go to the store and get a high-fiber macro friendly brownie. At least I can’t. Fiber One is an option, but it’s incredibly expensive. With just a few ingredients (that I already have in the house), I created a lovely brownie – with great macros, that I could enjoy daily. I get 16 brownies for just a few dollars, as opposed to processed, who knows what ingredients were used, for $4-$5.
These brownies are a decent size (cut into 16 from an 8×8 pan) so they are not a micro-bite, and it’s gone.
I have also paired them with my delicious homemade skyr yogurt, and my delectable homemade almond butter (recipe coming soon), for the perfect dessert!

High Fiber Macro Friendly Brownies
This is a recipe for my favorite high fiber, macro friendly brownies. These brownies use all whole food ingredients and are wonderful!
Ingredients
Homemade Applesauce
- 130 grams Macintosh apples skinless
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon Spice Island
- 1/2 cup water
Dry Ingredients
- 30 g White Whole Wheat Flour
- 28 g Oat Fiber
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan Salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder homemade
- 1/4 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 4 Tbsp Honey Raw
- 2 Tbsp Butter Grass-Fed

Instructions
Homemade Applesauce
-
Cut skinless Macintosh apples into wedges. Place in a covered pot with cinnamon and water. Boil for 10 minutes until the apples are soft (they are practically mashed).
Mash with a fork or potato masher. Set aside and allow to cool.
Wet ingredients
-
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine butter and raw honey. Heat in the microwave on low until melted (not more than a minute). Set aside and allow to cool.
When cool, mix in cocoa powder until smooth.
Add cooled applesauce and the remaining wet ingredients and set aside.
Dry ingredients
-
Mix the white whole wheat flour, oat fiber, salt, baking powder, baking soda and chocolate chips and set aside
-
Coat an 8X8 baking pan with non-stick spray.
Mix
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Place into the prepared 8x8 pan (coated with spray) and cook for 15 minutes - or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
When cool, cut into 16 bars.
You can store them covered for a few days, or in the freezer indefinitely. I take one out of the freezer and allow it to sit out or microwave.
