Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
- 0.33 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces light cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons light powdered sugar substitute
- 1 tablespoon nonfat Greek yogurt (plain)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar substitute. Stir until well blended.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth brownie batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
In a separate small bowl, beat together the softened light cream cheese, light powdered sugar substitute, and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. This is your cream cheese swirl mixture.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cut the brownies into 12 equal squares. Serve and enjoy!
