Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons of softened reduced-fat butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 pack (8oz) reduced-fat cream cheese
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°. Separate the two eggs, putting each white in a separate bowl (you can save the yolks to use on another recipe). Set aside. In a small bowl, mix your butter and 3/4 cup sugar until it’s crumbly. Beat in the remaining whole egg, one egg white, and vanilla extract until combined well. Combine the flour and cocoa, and gradually add them to the egg mixture until blended. Pour into a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray and set aside.
- Mix your cream cheese and remaining sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Beat in the second egg white. Put in rounded tablespoonfuls over the batter and cut through the batter with a knife to swirl.
- Finally, bake for 25-30 minutes or until set and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool on a wire rack.
