Healthy Peanut Butter Brownies with Homemade Peanut Butter Chips

Servings: 9 brownies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
These Healthy Peanut Butter Brownies with Homemade Peanut Butter Chips are incredibly decadent, rich, fudgy, and chocolatey. We've got ourselves a winner here y'all. And they're refined sugar free, high protein, high fiber, gluten free, and dairy free too!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, spray a 9" brownie pan with cooking spray, and line with parchment paper one way for easy removal later.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the peanut flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large stand mixer bowl with beater attachment, add the applesauce, egg, almond milk, stevia extract and vanilla. Mix on medium-low speed until combined.
  • Turn off the mixer and dump in the dry ingredients.  Mix on low speed until fully incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.  Increase the mixer speed to high to get rid of any clumps.  Once the mixture is smooth, gently fold in the peanut butter chips by hand.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.  Bake for ~38 minutes, or until the center springs back when tapped (if you want a more "set" brownie and less fudgy texture, bake for ~5 extra minutes).  Let cool in the pan, then slice and serve!
