Ingredients
- 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 5 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1 cup(s) sugar, granulated
- 1/2 cup(s) low fat cream cheese, softened

- 1/2 cup(s) crispy rice cereal
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 2 sheets of nonstick aluminum foil in bottom and up sides of a 9- X 9-inch baking pan (or place regular foil in pan and coat it with cooking spray).
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa.
In a large bowl, cream together granulated sugar and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating until fully combined; mix in vanilla. Slowly blend flour mixture into cream cheese mixture.
In another medium bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Fold egg whites into brownie batter; spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
Combine cereal, powdered sugar and melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of brownies. Place pan on middle rack in oven and bake just until center sets, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely and cut into 12 pieces.
