1 day ago 1

Chocolate and peanut butter layers meet to make the ultimate brownie experience! These Layered Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownie Bites will be your new favorite, healthy dessert. Gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and high protein.

Chocolate and peanut butter layers come together to create the ultimate brownie experience. These Layered Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies are about to become your new favorite healthy dessert. They’re gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and packed with protein for a treat that actually keeps you satisfied.

Why I Love Peanut Butter & Co Pure Peanut Powder

One ingredient I’ve been reaching for constantly lately is Peanut Butter & Co Pure Peanut Powder (code healthyhelper saves!). It delivers real peanut butter flavor while keeping recipes lighter and higher in protein, which makes it perfect for baking.

Because it’s made from real roasted peanuts with the fat pressed out, you still get that rich, nutty flavor you love, but in a versatile powder form that blends seamlessly into batters and doughs.

I especially love using it for stirring into oatmeal, blending into smoothies, sprinkling over yogurt bowls, mixing with water for an instant peanut butter drizzle, and baking high-protein treats like these brownies.

Powered by PEScience Vegan Vanilla Protein

To boost the protein and create that soft, fudgy texture, these brownies use PEScience Vegan Peanut Butter Protein (code healthyhelper saves!). It adds structure, subtle sweetness, and extra staying power so these bars feel like a true dessert while still supporting your nutrition goals.

The peanut butter flavor pairs perfectly with both the rich chocolate layer and enhances the peanut butter topping, creating that classic chocolate-peanut butter combo.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownie Heaven

Brownies just got an upgrade.

If you know me, you know peanut butter and chocolate is my forever favorite flavor combination. These brownies feature distinct layered textures: a rich chocolate base topped with a creamy peanut butter layer baked into soft, sliceable squares.

If you make one recipe this week, make these. They’re:

Diet: Gluten Free

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine egg whites, applesauce, vegan protein powder, and baking powder until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between two bowls. Stir the cocoa powder into one bowl to create the chocolate layer. Stir the peanut powder into the second bowl to create the peanut butter layer.
Spread the chocolate batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Carefully spoon the peanut butter batter over the chocolate layer and gently spread it evenly so it covers the surface without fully mixing into the bottom layer.
Bake for 22-28 minutes, or until the center is set and the top feels firm to the touch.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares or bars.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
If adding the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each. Stir in the oil until smooth and glossy. Spread evenly over the cooled brownies and place in the fridge to set before slicing.

Ohhhh – These look amazing!!! Pinned – Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Have a great week.
Can you make this without protein powder?
- I would say no…you’re always welcome to try it out and see but I cannot vouch for results. The recipe works and is intended as written!
