About Weight Watcher Brownie

The secret to these brownies is the clever use of low-calorie substitutes that do not compromise taste or texture. Greek yogurt and applesauce replace the usual butter and oil, adding moisture and a slight tang that enhances the chocolate flavor. This results in a moist, rich brownie with a deep chocolate taste that satisfies any chocolate lover. Whether serving them at a family gathering or enjoying them as a personal treat, these brownies will surely be a hit.
