These Weight Watchers One-Point Sheet Pan Brownies are a wonderful way to satisfy a chocolate craving without the guilt! Made with wholesome ingredients like applesauce instead of oil, they offer a light and fluffy texture with a rich, chocolatey taste. The substitution of applesauce not only keeps the brownies moist but also lowers the calorie content significantly, making these brownies an excellent choice for those keeping track of points or calories.
The recipe also uses a sugar substitute, which allows you to enjoy the sweetness without the extra sugar, making it diabetic-friendly as well. Plus, using a single egg and omitting butter cuts down on fat, while the unsweetened cocoa powder brings in that deep chocolate flavor. The result is a brownie that feels decadent but stays light, thanks to these smart ingredient swaps.
With only 1 Weight Watchers point per serving, these brownies are perfect for sharing or enjoying as a daily treat without derailing your health goals. Whether you’re looking for a dessert for a gathering or a snack to keep on hand, this sheet pan recipe is versatile, easy to make, and freezer-friendly. You can cut them into 24 small squares for easy portion control, or slice into larger pieces for those who want a bit more indulgence.
