Pinned It Did It: Skinny Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

First let me just say, these brownies are AWESOME! They are super easy to make too! My husband is a sweets junkie and I am too. However, I like to *try my best* to be a healthy sweets junkie! I have so many desserts pinned on my Sweet Treats board. I had all of the ingredients needed to make these brownies, so I went with this recipe.

You can find the original post about this recipe at Dashing Dish. Kudos to you, because these are just awesome. And healthy. You can't beat that! I did however follow the recipe found at Sally's Baking Addiction. But changed a few things. I used 1 cup of Splenda instead of sugar. I didn't use any salt and I didn't use the baking powder. They still turned out awesome. The hubs said they reminded him of fudge.

Ingredients needed:


Skinny Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter 
• 6 oz. low fat vanilla yogurt 
• 1/4 cup skim milk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup Splenda
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  
  Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 8×8 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  Place all of the ingredients except for the peanut butter into a blender. (Yes, a blender!) She says to place the liquid ingredients into the blender first. Next time I will do the oats first to ensure they are completely ground up. Blend until smooth and oats are completely ground up.
  Pour your batter into prepared baking dish.  Microwave peanut butter for about 30 seconds. The hubs microwaved the peanut butter in a large measuring cup and then he poured the whole thing into the middle of the brownies. Our sweet little toddler Ronnie, took the butter knife and swirled the peanut butter around into the brownie mix. Or you could mix the melted peanut butter into the batter before pouring.
  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. I ended up baking for 20 minutes, let it cool for a bit and then moved it to the fridge to finish cooling. After about an hour we took them out and cut them. Ronnie couldn't wait to try one! :) These brownies are so yummmmy!
