Brownies. What's not to love about brownies? The chocolate. The sugar. Did I mention the chocolate?
Well, of course there is the guilt that comes with eating too many high calorie brownies.
So what if I told you, we felt it was only fair to publish a recipe that gives every bit of the sweet brownie flavor but none of the guilt.
Now that I have your attention...read on for one point dessert amazement.
1-POINT WEIGHT WATCHERS BROWNIES RESCUE
First up. Every great brownie is born from one of these Silicone Brownie Squares Baking Molds. So make sure you have on in your kitchen.
The pre-portioned molds allow for the perfect distribution of Brownie mix. With it, you have a popular 1-point per serving brownie recipe that you won't want to miss.
Meaning your new favorite 1-point rescue recipe isn't going to surprise you come weigh-in day!
This recipe also uses great sugar substitutes and easily modified ingredients. I have often substitute in my favorite all-purpose gluten free flour with this recipe, and it still tastes great.
And the Unsweetened Applesauce helps add in a fruit serving while helping to remove one whole egg. Amazing trade. All in all, this is one smart recipe!

Sounds so good! Was wondering though if this 1 point is a smart point or the old point system point plus?
Barb
This recipe is 2 Smarat Points for 16 brownies. I just finished entering it into the WW app recipe builder. If you reduce the sugar to 1/8 cup and increase the Spenda to 7/8 cups, it will be 1 SP.
Jessica McCoy
Thanks Barb!
Mary
It was delicious! I was trying to make a WW friendly lactation brownie to help with my milk production and it tasted great after adding brewers yeast and ground flax!’
Tonja Osipower
This helps with your body producing milk for baby..?? My friend having a hard time producing milk for her newborn.. I’ll pass this along if it helps??
Jessica McCoy
Sorry, I have no idea about that.
HARMONY
I have a question…do I have to use Splenda or can I use a substitute for Splenda like Stevia?
Annamarie traynor
Hi is this 2 points each or for the whole recipe .thank yoy.
Jessica McCoy

Samantha
What kind of flour did you use?
Jessica McCoy
All purpose flour.
Debbie
Can you replace Splenda with Truvia?
Jessica McCoy
Yes, you certainly can!
Sandy
Actually, I just put it into the WW app calculator, and on the new Freestyle plan, they are 5 points each! Yikes!!
D McLeish
Shame it’s not 1 point !!! I calculate much more ..... after eating .... need to rename
Justine Fox
I just put it in my recipe builder on my app. If you use the 16 servings it is2 freestyle pts.
Miranda Gardner
If you use lankanto monkfruit sweetener in place of all the sugar, these are only 1 point a piece and much healthier than the sugar/Splenda combo. I found this sweetener in the baking isle at my local Harris teeter. I highly recommend it for all baking recipes!!
Jessica McCoy
Thanks so much! Great advice.
Shirley Blackburn
