Another WeightWatchers dessert success!!  This 2 point brownie cup is a rich, magical, 3 2.5 bite wonder.  I’m always curious if the WeightWatchers servings sizes are filling enough and I must stay, the richness of the cups satisfy that little (or big) hankering that lurks in all of this.

In my search to find healthy, delicious desserts, I came across a recipe for Chocolate Walnut Brownies. To stick with the point value of WeightWatchers, the only thing I substituted was chopped pecans for walnuts.

2 Point Brownie Cup Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 oz bittersweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I used pecans)

   

Directions: Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.   In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and vanilla.  Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave for about 1 minute.  Don’t overcook.

Pour Chocolate mixture in sugar mixture and combine.  Add this to the flour mixture and combine until just moist.  At this point the chocolate smelled SO good!  I had a little taste of the batter and it is approved for pre-cook eating!!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spoon brownie mixture in 30 mini cupcake tins. (this is important to keep the point value at 2 points per cup!) Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.   Bake for 15 minutes.  Eat with a big glass of milk! (optional, but highly recommended)
