Ingredients Needed for Weight Watcher Brownies
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato - → 0 can used canned (unsweetened or frozen defrosted sweet potatoes
- ½ cup natural peanut butter → Still kind of high in points but used half cup of peanut butter to keep the points lower
- ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt - Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein
- ⅔ cup sugar-free maple syrup - Sugar-free syrup keeps the brownies sweet and glossy without the extra points
- 2 large eggs → 0
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract → 0
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder - → ~6 points total
- ½ teaspoon baking soda → 0
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon → 0
- 1 teaspoon salt → 0
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Substitutions That Lower the Points
This recipe was originally made with a full cup of peanut butter and real maple syrup. Here’s how we lightened it up without sacrificing texture:
Peanut butter - used ½ cup of greek yogurt/ ½ cup of peanut butter - any type of nut butter is high in points! You still get richness from the peanut butter
Maple Syrup - replaced with sugar free maple syrup
Chocolate Chips - regular chocolate chips with sugar free chips
This simple swap cuts the points almost in half while keeping them thick and fudgy.
How to Make Weight Watcher Brownies
1. Prep - Preheat oven to 350°F and Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the wet ingredients - Mash sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
Use precooked ones. In a large bowl, stir together: mashed sweet potato, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, sugar-free maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the dry ingredients - cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt. Stir until a thick batter forms.
If your batter seems thin (this can happen depending on the yogurt), add 1–2 extra tablespoons of cocoa powder. Fold in chocolate chips- Save a few for the top if you want that bakery-style look.
5. Bake - Spread evenly into the pan and bake for 22–27 minutes, or until the center is just set.
6. Cool completely - This step is important — the brownies firm up and become extra fudgy as they cool.
Serving Size & WW Points
Cut into 12 brownies for the best balance of portion size and points.
Estimated WW Points: 6–7 per brownie
(Points will vary slightly based on the brands of peanut butter, yogurt, and chocolate chips you use.)
Texture Tips for Perfect Fudgy Brownies
- The batter should be thick, not pourable
- Do not overbake — the center should look just set
- Let them cool fully before slicing
These are meant to be dense and fudgy — not cake-like.
Substitution Ideas
- Use powdered peanut butter in place of regular peanut butter for even lower points
- Reduce chocolate chips to ½ cup for fewer points
- Swap in dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor
- Add a sprinkle of flaky salt on top for a bakery-style finish
