Posted May 15, 2017, Updated Jul 03, 2024 It’s no secret that brownies are my favorite dessert. And these flourless peanut butter brownies are absolutely delicious. They are a fudgy, chocolatey brownie with peanut butter added to the batter. A gluten-free dessert that everyone will absolutely love!
Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies: Ingredient Substitutions
Creamy peanut butter: crunchy peanut butter, or any nut or seed butter works well. Semisweet chocolate: milk or dark chocolate work well too. You can use bars, chips, or discs because this chocolate is melted. Salted butter: coconut oil or vegan butter are both good substitutes. Sugar: organic cane sugar, white sugar or coconut sugar all work well. Cornstarch. tapioca starch/flour or arrowroot powder are all good substitutes.
How to Make Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
Begin by combining the cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt in a small bowl, set aside. In a microwave safe dish or on the stovetop, melt butter, peanut butter and ¾ cup semisweet chocolate together and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together for 1 minute. Then beat in the melted chocolate and the dry ingredients until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. Next, slowly beat or stir in the chocolate chips and until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Then, pour the flourless peanut butter brownies batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs. Cool completely before serving.
Serve
Serve the flourless peanut butter brownies with peanut butter frosting (or vegan peanut butter frosting). You can also serve them with ice cream, chocolate sauce, etc.
