Baking powder contains baking soda and cream of tartar. The cream of tartar is an acid which breaks the baking powder down into carbon dioxide and water causing the brownies to rise. It is quite unlikely that it caused a problem.

Out of curiosity did you use baking powder or baking soda? The recipe calls for 1/2 tsp baking soda probably because the applesauce is acidic and therefore the cream of tartar is not required to produce the carbon dioxide which causes the brownies to rise.
