Weight Watchers Cheesecake Brownies
Ingredients:

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (to replace oil)
  • 1/2 cup sugar substitute (like Splenda or Stevia)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 1/2 cup fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp sugar substitute (like Splenda or Stevia)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, sugar substitute, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and egg. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
    • In a separate small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, egg white, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Brownies:
    • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
    • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares.
