"Skinny" Cheesecake brownies

Hello!

July is a month full of celebrations, be it birthdays or graduations so I decided to bake cheesecake brownies for all my loved ones for birthdays especially and congratulate those who graduate alongside with me! I have searched high and low for a skinnier version of cheesecake brownies but yet, not too raw and acceptable for others to accept! Finally, I found this perfect recipe and I decided to try! Please refer to Annie's Noms's skinny cheesecake brownies. I doubled the recipe and made 9 muffin sized brownies. Should have split them into more cups as they all overflowed at 7/8 batter full before baking. I baked them for more than 45 minutes. The original recipe's mini cheesecake brownies must had been really small then for them to only require a maximum of 15 minutes. Anyway, it is a lovely skinnier version of cheesecake brownies but yet, not that healthy. It is butter-less though!

My guests were happy with these! :)

Ignore the ugly swirls!

Anyway, July is my birthday month! If you live in Singapore, I would recommend you to go Night Safari, Zoo, River Safari or Jurong Bird Park on your birthday as it will be free for you, citizens and PR! I had an awesome time at the Night Safari, I find it more interesting than Zoo. These days, as I grow older, I find it very superficial for people to wish others a Happy Birthday on FaceBook. We don't talk to each other yet we know each others' lives, not entirely but in snapshots. We act as though we are on close and happy terms on FB but we might not even say hi when we walk pass each other in real life. Hmm...some food for thought there so I decided to remove my birthday on FaceBook and have a great awesome peaceful day without all the superficial unnecessary replies. Well, even if close friends do not remember your birthdays, it does not mean that they do not love you anymore. Your friendships shouldn't be judged or based on remembering one's birthday nor gifts. Again, that is how I chose to spend my birthday by being at home to rest and enjoying my me time before I start work and hope for a relaxing birthday like this again in future. Anyway, shan't bore you anymore. :)

Cheers,
