Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Applesauce
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 2 whole Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal of brownies.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the applesauce, sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter as this can make the brownies dense.

Step 5

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 6

In another bowl, beat together the softened low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and honey until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture gently over the brownie layer in the dish.

Step 8

Carefully top the cheesecake layer with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it as evenly as possible.

Step 9

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 11

Allow the cheesecake brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before slicing.

Step 12

Cut into 12 equal squares to serve.
