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. "

sugar, sugar, sugar

I question this recipe as healthy with a whopping total of one and a half CUPS of sugar. REALLY

Pros: hard to find

Really nice but canola oil said to be poisonous to humans!

Lovely idea and recipe. They work really well with gluten-free flour too- very healthy, in fact!
In terms of the above, use (preferably 100% pure) olive oil! ;)

Pros: very nice with cheesecake as well as brownie

Oh so great!

I made these using Egg Beaters for the whole eggs, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (use half as much SBSB as brown sugar in the recipe), 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce for the oil, and 1/2 tsp. coffee liquor. These brownies were wonderful!! The batter appears a bit on the sparse side in the pan before baking, but puffs up nicely when finished. I baked mine for the minimum time required (we love our brownies gooey!) and they were perfect for us! Just exactly what we were craving!! This recipe is going in the regular rotation! OH - and be sure to keep these in the frige, too...I accidentally left one brownie (wrapped tightly) on my counter for 24 hours & a tiny speck of white mold appeared on the surface...just an FYI.

Pros: Easy, dense, delicious, healthy!

Delectable Brownies

This was the very first time I made brownies from scratch and I was looking for a healthy recipe. With some healthy recipes, the taste is sacrificed. That was not the case with this recipe. It was absolutely delicious!! I did bake the brownie 5 minutes longer, to battle the gooeyness, and they were superb. My favorite part of this recipe was dragging the knife through the batters to make the swirls. I believe you could make a specific shape based on what the occasion is.

Pros: Delicious, Delicious, and Delicious!! Fun to Make, Rich

Outstanding brownies

Wow! Made these - and they're GONE. I did change it a bit - for Cocoa powder - I used 1/2 Cocoa and 1/2 Dark Chocolate powder. Will definitely keep these on the DO MAKE AGAIN List! thanks

Pros: Healthy, flavorful
