Swirled Cheesecake Brownies

From EatingWell: Summer 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

Made with whole-wheat flour, these decadent-tasting brownies have a beautiful marbled cheesecake topping. Cutting them into bite-size pieces helps to keep the calorie count in check.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I made a batch of these brownies today and they were so good! I will definitely make these again. The whole-wheat flour gave them a bit chewier texture and next time I will add a bit of shredded coconut to the brownie base....yum. "

I used the third less fat cream cheese and dark cocoa powder instead of the unsweetened cocoa powder. These are really good! I made them for a Memorial Day BBQ, no one could tell they were actually good for you! To get the real flavor of the topping, warm first, makes a big difference. I couldn't stop eating them.

I made these Memorial Day using the Splenda and Splenda brown sugar substitute for us. They were delicious! Very moist and chocolatey, they were absolutely perfect. I've made other brownies using the substitutes that my husband loved, but this one he said was the best of all!

Substitute Baking splenda and brown sugar splenda and then these brownies would qualify as safe for diabetics.

These were Very good! Everyone loved them. NO one even realized they were kind of healthy. Biggest problem was no one wanted to stop eating them!

Uhhh isn't the whole point of making an EatingWell recipe the fact that it's healthier for you? Using a boxed mix kind of defeats the purpose. For pete's sake, this isn't exactly a difficult recipe! And with 1 1/2 cups of sugar, how could these not be sweet enough?

I think you might have read

I think you might have read the recipe wrong on the amount of sugar. I see it as 1/4 cup of sugar, and you can substitute that with Splenda baking. Maybe it was a typo, or you had to add that much to make them sweet? But just saying you might want to try it again with the splenda.
