RECIPE BACKSTORY
To make more moist try:
These are the changes I made:
instead of the baking cocoa I used 1 square (melted) unsweetened chocolate
instead of the egg I used 1/4 cup of egg beater
instead of the oil I used 3 T unsweetened applesauce
instead of the chocolate chips I used Hershey Premier Flavored baking pieces (raspberry creme)
It was fabulous. It was moister and the raspberry flavor with the chocolate was to die for. I have some Caramel baking pieces that I will have to try one day also.
It was fun playing with the recipe I hope you like the changes.
You might want to change the cooking time to 2:30 to 2:45 min. If overcooked it will get rubbery.
