    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish. In a large bowl thoroughly combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk together oil, applesauce, non dairy milk and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Add cherries and chocolate chips and gently fold in using a rubber spatula. Spread batter evenly in prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean the brownies are done. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate for a couple of hours before cutting.

    No special equipment is needed. Only an 8x8 baking dish and basic kitchen tools like mixing bowls and measuring cups are needed.
