REDUCED-FAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH:

REDUCED-SUGAR PEANUT BUTTER CUPS:

  • These include a creamy peanut butter taste inside the Brookies. It reduces the sugar content in the recipe. You may use mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups as another choice.

REDUCED-FAT BROWNIE MIX:

  • The brownie mixture gives a rich chocolate layer on top. Using a reduced-fat mix makes a lighter dessert with a fudgy texture. Use sugar-free brownie mix as per your preference.

UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:

  • Applesauce keeps the brownie batter moist and tender. It gives low fat and calories to the brookies. You may use mashed banana as another choice.
