Ingredients
  

  • 1 box of your favorite allergy friendly brownie mix* (usually 18-20oz)
  • 2 ounces plain cream cheese, (4 tablespoons) softened/warm
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil*

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325-350F depending on box directions. Grease a pan (I use my pullman pan for thick brownies with lots of edging, other options are 11X7, 8X8, 9X9.
  • Soften cream cheese by placing on a microwave safe plate and heating for 10 seconds or until finger presses through cream cheese without resistance.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, water and oil. Mix thoroughly until it not longer looks curdled, and comes together in a creamy consistency.
  • Add in the boxed brownie mix and stir until batter comes together and is well combined.
  • Bake as directed- time will vary depending on pan size and preferred doneness. Approximately 30-50 minutes. Check doneness and consistency by inserting a toothpick into the center to make sure no raw batter clings to toothpick. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into it, and enjoy!

Notes

*Tips, Tricks and Substitutions

*Boxed Brownie mix- Depending on comfort level, or lack of allergy to eggs, our favorite brand is Ghirardelli triple chocolate, and Annies organic double chocolate, Use any brand you prefer between sizes of 18oz-20oz.
*Oil- I use avocado oil, but any neutral oil like canola or vegetable, or even melted butter would work.
