White Chocolate Mocha Brownies

This might be the first time during this pregnancy that i tried to lighten a dessert.  When I'm pregnant, I get the bad attitude that i can eat whatever I want... Hence the 40 lbs i gained with my first pregnancy.  Anyway, this one is light, and I LOVE it!  My oven is broken, so the first time I made them was in a Crockpot.  I tried it again in a toaster oven, and it came out good both ways.  I'm sure it would bake better in a real oven.

White Mocha Brownies

1 box lowfat brownie mix (Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1 egg
1 tbs applesauce
4 tsp instant coffee
1 cup white chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake according to package directions.
**For Crockpot: Spray crock with non-stick spray and line with wax or parchment paper.  Spray again. Spread a paper towel over the pot and cover with lid.  Cook 2 hrs on low, lid on; remove lid and cook 20 min more. Remove the crock to a cooling rack until brownies are cool enough to touch, then turn out onto a plate.

--I posted this earlier and forgot the 'White Chocolate' part.  Then with the commotion of Hurricane Isaac, I didn't get a chance to fix it and put it back up...Sorry!
