February is here and Valentine’s Day is this week, and to me that means bring on the chocolate!

Skinny Cheesecake Swirl Flourless Brownies. Gluten free, clean eating, healthy dessert

Let’s be honest here. Chocolate is hands down the best part of Valentine’s Day. What girl doesn’t love a good chocolatey dessert?

In my house, chocolate obsession is not limited to me, but extends to my hubs. Anytime there is anything chocolate related in the house, my hubs and I will inevitably fight over the last one. Fight might be too weak of a word. It gets violent.

Isn’t true love great?

These skinny cheesecake swirl brownies are definitely good cause to put my fight face on for the last brownie. Not only are they a fudgy, decadent brownie swirled with creamy cheesecake, but they are 100 percent figure friendly. There is no added sugar, no flour (making these brownies gluten free) and full of healthy protein and good for you fat.

But don’t worry- these taste as good as their not skinny counterparts. If you are lucky in love and have someone to fight to the death with over that last brownie, these will definitely cause an all out brawl. And hey, if you’re still single- more for you without going through the hoopla of a fight!
