Mocha Brownies

With the first few weeks of school, I was really lacking a healthy dose of chocolate, so I decided to make these mocha brownies.  I really just wanted chocolate, but I figured Alex would enjoy the mocha more than anything else.  They were very quick to make, as all brownies are, and I really enjoyed the flavor.

They're a bit healthier than your normal brownie, what with the whole wheat flour and applesauce, but I think the flavor is excellent.  They're slightly cake like but extremely densely rich from the chocolate chips and mocha.  Alex couldn't get past the whole wheat flour's texture, claiming he couldn't taste the mocha or chocolate; I'm not sure how he couldn't taste it.  Next time, I'll probably use white whole wheat flour to make him a bit happier.  I've just been trying to get rid of the normal whole wheat and figured this would be a good way to hide it.
