One of my favorite flavor combinations is transformed in this PB Cheesecake Brownie recipe.  With delicious cheesecake, chocolate, and peanut butter flavors, these brownies are sure to please everyone.

The mass tossing of crap I don’t want packing to move has commenced.  There was a lot of, “What is that?” and “Where did that come from?” and “Why do I have THAT?”  “Who’s is that?”  “This isn’t even mine.”  Somehow I inherited a bunch of crap…some of which isn’t even mine.  Since we’re downsizing, well, we’re downsizing.

You’d be surprised at what I DID find, though…

Yeah.  The whole friggin bag.  In a box.  In the closet.  Lord knows how it got there, what it was doing there, but I see mass quantities of cookies in my future.  Maybe some banana chip muffins?  PB chip cupcakes?  More nummy ganache filled stuff?  Who knows…  Whatever it is, it will be tasty.

I’ve started playing with brownies.  S isn’t a fan of cake or cupcakes.  My co-workers will be my guinea pigs on those, I guess.  So, I’m playing with brownies.  Same MO; low fat yet moist.  I know the two don’t usually go hand in hand.  That’s my goal though.  I know they’re not going to be like Ghirardelli, but I want them to be good AND healthy.  I mean, the two SHOULD be able to go together, right?

So, round 1…and they’re good!  I’m surprised.  But I shouldn’t be, I guess.

I love Chobani, so I thought I’d bake with it this time.

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine yogurt, sugar, egg substitute, vanilla extract, and instant coffee in a large mixing bowl.

Combine flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder in small mixing bowl.

Whip softened cream cheese, egg substitute, sugar, vanilla extract and peanut butter until creamy.

Combine the flour mixture with the yogurt mixture until combined.  Pour into an 8 inch baking dish coated in cooking spray.  Spoon the peanut butter mixture over top and swirl with a knife.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool before serving.

    • Yes and I've used about 1/3 of it? *sigh* Made some chocolate chip cookies for S this weekend. May have to make up some dough and just freeze it for later. Or just pack the bag up with us. Dunno yet.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    • There's something you do with peach pits, but I can't remember. Something in the deep dark recesses of my brain. Hmm. *shrugs* Yeah, I guess it COULD have been worse. Thanks for stopping by! See ya tonight.

    • Thanks for the hug!

      It IS amazing how much crap is built up in a living space. Some things I just have difficulty getting rid of…like my ORIGINTAL Tuperware play cooking set. That plastic rolling pin and mat just bring back so many memories of being the kithchen with Mom or Nanan. *sigh*

      Okay…nostalgia over!

      Thanks for stopping by!

  15. I hope that next time I dig around in the closest I find a bag of chocolate. And I'm not picky. Doesn't have to be chips. Sigh. All I ever find is crap!

    Awesome brownies! Thanks for linking.

  17. YUM! I just made some peanut butter brownies on Friday and they were DISGUSTING. But now I want to make these, and I sure hope they turn out a lot better then mine did 🙂

    P.S. So cool that you found that huge bag of chocolate chips!

    • It was in a box…that I hadn't opened since we moved. THREE YEARS AGO! LOL That's how. TRUST me, it WILL get used up soon. I'm thinking a HUGE batch of cookies for work? Maybe some chocolate chip cupcakes? more brownies? Possibilities are ENDLESS! 🙂
