Healthy Peanut Butter Brownies

These healthy peanut butter brownies are the perfect snack or dessert when you just need a brownie! They can be cooked 4 ways. In the waffle maker, in the microwave, in a mug, or baked in the oven. I have instructions for all of the methods.

I like to make these and freeze the extras so I have snacks or desserts whenever I want chocolate but don’t want to feel sick from too much sugar.

makes 6 servings.

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In the oven:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Line glass dish with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, it will have melted chocolate on it but just not wet batter.

For making in a waffle maker: Grease top and bottom of waffle maker.
when opening waffle maker, be gentle so the waffle doesn’t split in half. You can use a fork or rubber spatula to gently pry the waffle from the top of the maker when you start to open it. If may take a few to get the hang of things.

For the microwave: Line a 8 x 8 inch glass baking with parchment paper.
Pour batter into glass dish and cook for 3 minutes and 30 seconds or until the center rises.

To make mug cakes: will make around 4-6 mug cakes, depending on your mug size. Fill mug 1/2 the way full and cook for 1 minute.
