How to Make Low Fat Marbled Chocolate Brownies

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, and ½ cup margarine, stirring constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Gently stir in 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
Gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter using a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
Bake for 22-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
