Extreme Low Fat Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Brownies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE SWIRL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or as directed on brownies).
• First prepare your brownie batter by combining brownie mix, eggs, oil, and milk (or water) in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer and mix on medium speed until there's still a little bit of dry brownie mix showing. Switch to stirring together by hand and gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Set aside.
• In a medium size mixing bowl, prepare your peanut butter cheesecake swirl mixture by beating cream cheese with an electric hand mixer for 1 minute or until smooth.
• Add in egg, sugar, flour, vanilla, and salt and mix until well combined and creamy.
• Next pour all but 1/2 cup of brownie batter into a 9×13 glass baking dish that has been well coated with non-stick cooking spray.
• Spoon peanut butter cream cheese mixture in dollops on top of the brownie mixture and lightly spread.
• Use a cookie scoop and top with the remaining brownie batter in various spots.
• Use a knife and begin swirling the batter drawing vertical and horizontal lines. If you want it even more mixed up, you can also do small swirling motions to give it a super pretty effect, but avoid overmixing so that you don't lose your swirls.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Once fully baked, remove from oven and let brownies cool before cutting into bars.
