Ingredients

Brownie:
2/3 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
2 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup plain, unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup strong coffee
2 tsp vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Topping:
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Coat a 7-by-11-inch brownie pan or baking pan with cooking spray.
To make cream cheese topping: Place cream cheese in a small mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until smooth. Add egg, flour, yogurt and vanilla; beat until well blended.
To prepare brownie: Whisk whole-wheat flour, cocoa and salt in a bowl. Place egg, egg whites and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with the electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add applesauce, coffee and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed just until well blended, stopping once to scrape down the sides.
Scrape about half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Slowly pour the topping evenly on top. Drop the remaining brownie batter in large dollops over the topping. Draw the tip of a sharp knife or skewer through the two batters to create a swirled effect.
Bake the brownies until the top is just firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 bars.

Healthy, Fat Free Fudge Brownie Recipe – How To Do it

Ok, so they key to making these super amazing, low calorie brownies involves two things:

1. No Pudge Fudge Brownie Mix
2. 1 15 oz can of pure pumpkin

And here’s how you do it….

The No Pudge Fudge Brownie Mix is truly one of the greatest finds ever. Many health food stores carry a variety of the mixes, but you can also order it online by clicking here: No Pudge Fat Free Fudge Brownie Mix, Original.
Now, once you’ve scored yourself some No Pudge Brownie Mix, you are simply going to follow the instructions on the box, with just one small recipe adjustment. Simply swap out the yogurt that the recipe calls for and use canned pumpkin instead. By doing this, you are significantly increasing the fiber, vitamin and antioxidant content of the brownie, without compromising the flavor. And if you are not a fan of pumpkin, DON’T WORRY — you cannot taste pumpkin at all in this brownie recipe. The chocolate taste overwhelms it, so the pumpkin is pretty much tasteless. Another benefit to this is that the canned pumpkin makes the brownies so chewy and moist! You will seriously be in brownie heaven with this phenomenally delicious dish.

If you are feeling adventurous, try the canned pumpkin swap in these other delicious flavor varieties of the No Pudge Brownie Mixes!
