Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
