if you love the combo of chocolate and peanut butter, these brownies are about to become your new favorite treat.
they’re everything a brownie should be—thick, rich, deeply chocolatey, and perfectly fudgy—with a creamy peanut butter filling right in the center.
but here’s the best part: they’re made with better-for-you ingredients, totally gluten-free and dairy-free, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar.
no refined sugar, no floury aftertaste, just pure indulgence in every bite.
these brownies are all about contrast.
the bottom and top layers are soft and dense, like a brownie and a truffle had a baby.
the middle peanut butter layer is creamy but sets up just enough to stay put when you slice them.
they’re sturdy enough to pick up and eat with your hands, but still melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
you’ll mix up the brownie batter in one bowl, stir together the peanut butter filling in another, and layer them in an 8×8 pan.
half the brownie batter goes on the bottom, then a thick layer of peanut butter, then the rest of the brownie batter on top.
bake until just set, cool completely, and get ready for some serious self-control testing.
to make these completely vegan, just swap the eggs for flax eggs:
once baked and cooled, these brownies store beautifully.
they’re nostalgic, rich, and indulgent but made with wholesome ingredients that actually leave you feeling good.
the peanut butter center is just the right amount of creamy, and the brownie layers are chocolate heaven.
whether you’re baking for a crowd or meal prepping your desserts (we totally support it), these brownies will hit the spot every time.

Thank you, much appreciated 💗
Has anyone tried this recipe and was it good?! And what is the recipe for coconut flour? Is it to reduce something in the regular flour?
This recipe came out great! I did make a few substitutions to meet our diet:
Used flax egg instead of real eggs.
Used apple sauce instead of coconut oil (ratio 1:1).
Used 1 cup of dates blended with 3/4 cups of water in place of the date syrup and sugar (We were low on date syrup and don’t have coconut sugar.)
I had to cook it for an hour, probably because of the changes I made. Comparing ours to the picture, it does come out more dense this way.
Omg these were soooo good. Couldn’t even tell they were healthy and the peanut butter layer was legit like a Reese’s peanut butter cup inside! Making them again asap!!!
amazing, thank you!!
Do you think I could leave out the coconut sugar if we don’t like things too sweet? Or maybe add a little more maple syrup and not the coconut sugar?
hiii! it needs the coconut sugar for texture, structural purposes 🙂
Could something replace oat flour? Coconut, tigernut etc.
Thanks
neither of those will work for this recipe, i’m sorry!
These are insanely good! I make a bunch of your recipes & these were off the charts good! Only changes I made is that I used Lakanto monkfruit sweetener & their sugar free maple syrup to make them sugar free….but I still added the chocolate chips sooooo, not 100%! I cooked them for only 24 mins instead & they’re perfect! Thank you for the great recipe lovely!!
thanks for sharing and your support lovely!!
