Chocolate Chip Brownies

Ingredients
2 cups AP flour
1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
1 cup corn oil
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tbsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to 350* F. Butter and flour a 13x9 inch pan.
2. Combine flour and cocoa powders
3. Take two tablespoons of the flour-cocoa mix and put them in a Ziploc bag. Add the chocolate chips, close the bag, and shake until coated. Set aside.
4. Add sugar, salt, and baking powder to flour-cocoa mix and stir.
5. In a separate bowl, beat eggs.
6. Add oil, applesauce, and vanilla to eggs and stir to combine.
7. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir to combine.
8. Empty the bag with the chocolate chips into the batter (including any extra flour and cocoa powder) and stir.
9. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350* F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let them cool a bit before you cut them.

Tips
1. You can use any kinds of chocolate chips. I like a combination of mini-semi-sweet chocolate chips and regular sized white chocolate chips. You can also use other chips like butterscotch, peanut butter, or chocolate peppermint. If you want, you can also use walnuts or pecans for this. You can also use non-dairy versions.
2. You can use all dark chocolate cocoa powder or all regular cocoa powder if you don't have both.
3. Instead of buttering and flouring the pan by hand, you can use the sprays made for baking (they have some flour in them already). Do not just use a regular Pam spray with just oil/butter, it won't work as well.
