    Why hello there Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies. It's been a while since we saw a healthy recipe on this blog! These Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies are gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free and can be made vegan. They are fudgy, gooey and do not taste healthy in the slightest. I have made these at least 10 times in the last few months because they are that good!

    Like I said, its been a while since I made a healthy recipe for the blog but that is changing today. I love experimenting with healthier alternatives and ingredients so expect to continue to see healthy recipes in among the usual 'naughty. treats.

    I have created a video that shows a bit of behind the scenes of how these brownies were created. You can watch that below or on my YouTube Channel. These use coconut oil, peanut butter, vanilla extract, gluten free flour and cocoa as the core ingredients. These use eggs but you could replace these with apple sauce and yield the same results. Chocolate chips are optional but highly recommended!

    The flavour is like a peanut butter chocolate bar but a fudgy and gooey kind! Its like a cross between a brownie and a gooey cookie bar.

    I use an all natural peanut butter to make these as healthy as possible. It is important that you use smooth peanut butter not crunchy as crunchy peanut butter causes the brownies to turn more cake like as it is drying. The photo above is made with crunchy peanut butter compared with the fudgier smooth brownie pictured below.
