Gluten-Free Nutella Cheesecake Brownies

adapted from Babble

Brownie Layer:
4 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 c. softened, unsalted butter
3/4 c. cocoa powder
1/2 c. Nutella
1/3 c. Pamela's gluten-free baking mix

Cheesecake Layer:
8 oz. low-fat cream cheese
1/2 c. Nutella
1/2 c. granuated sugar
2 eggs

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In one bowl, beat all of the brownie ingredients together. 

3. In a separate bowl, beat together all of the cheesecake ingredients. 

4. Scrape the brownie batter into the bottom of an 8×8 pan. Pour the cheesecake all over the top of the brownie batter and smooth the cheesecake completely over the brownie layer with a spatula. 

5. Bake for 50 - 55 minutes (our oven required 52 minutes). The center of the brownies will be set, but a toothpick inserted in to the middle won't come out dry. Don't worry.

6. Cool the brownies completely before serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
