Here’s the thing… I have to be in the mood for peanut butter. It seems like I don’t even have a passing thought about it for a few weeks and then all of a sudden it’s like I NEED PEANUT BUTTERRRRRRRRR!
It’s a little bit crazy.
And it’s usually a very specific peanut butter craving when it strikes. It’s not, oh hey I could really do with a peanut butter something today…
No. It’s more like, um I need a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos this instant or I will surely die.
Yeah that sounds about right. And for the record it’s not cheetos on my sandwich, it’s cheetos with my sandwich. As in, a bite of sandwich and then pop a cheeto in real quick. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it all of you frosty + french fry people. (bleh!)
And then other times it’s more like oh what I wouldn’t do for a peanut butter cup. One. One reeses peanut butter cup.
This week it was a peanut butter brownie. But it had to be super chewy, fudgey, chocolatey, and drizzled with extra deliciousness. Bonus points if it’s flourless.
Oh heyyyyyy. . .
Even if you’re not a PB person, how on earth can you turn that down??? ^^^^
If you’re a BIG peanut butter person (the breakfast lunch and dinner type – you know who you are.) don’t be afraid to smear a little extra (or a lot extra…) right on top.
Like so….
What people are saying about these Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
“Wow, you weren’t kidding! These brownies are crazy fudgey and rich! I have been totally craving a decadent brownie and these have been on my ‘must-make’ list for a while now. Made them tonight and needless to say, my chocolate craving has been totally satisfied!!!” – Tracy
“My new favorite “go to” brownie recipe. Turned out absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent recipe.” – Carol
“These were delicious thank you for sharing the recipe. We had guests joining us for dinner that couldn’t have gluten. So happy I came across this recipe on Pinterest. We ate them with vanilla ice cream so I didn’t put frosting on them. I would probably do less cocoa next time. They were a little too rich and bitter. So, so good! Even my kid who claims he’s allergic to peanut butter, he’s not, he just really dislikes it, couldn’t get enough of these fudgy brownies. Yum!” – Kristen
“I have made this twice and it is amazing! My coworkers eat it like it is going out of style!!” – Kelly
Flourless Fudgey Peanut Butter Brownies
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
Drizzle
- ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch pan with foil or parchment and grease with nonstick spray.
- Melt the butter, 2 cups chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl at 1/2 power for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth (return to microwave for another 20 seconds at a time as needed until completely melted and smooth).
- Add chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt and mix until smooth. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes until set and an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Once brownies have cooled, melt remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl at 1/2 power for about 1 minute or until you can stir it smooth. Drizzle over cooled brownies. Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes for the drizzle to set. Cut into bars and serve.

These are amazing. I have now made them twice and they have come out perfect each time! As someone who can’t eat gluten, these make me feel like I am breaking all the rules. Which really is so much fun. Thanks for the recipe! Have a blessed day!
Made these this evening, they are wonderful! I used dark chocolate chips but followed the recipe otherwise! I didn’t really find the peanut butter flavour comes through all that much but it may be different once they have cooled.
These look amazing! You hadn’t tried freezing them 2 years ago, but just wondering if you have now. I’d like to make them for Passover and the more I can do early, the better! 🙂 Thanks!
Has anyone tried this with dark cocoa powder?
Would it work to use powdered peanut butter in place of the peanut butter and would you have add an extra egg or butter for moisture, definitely cut down in the calories, thanks
