Brownies are probably one of my favorite desserts of all time. Not going to lie, the chocolate part has a lot to do with it. I’m not sure there is anything better than chocolate. Oh yeah, and peanut butter. This recipes for chocolate peanut butter protein brownies has both so I was in heaven for a few days until I ate all of them!

Like a lot of my protein brownie recipes, I used black beans in these. I know, it sounds weird. Who the heck would want beans in their brownies? But trust me, you don’t taste them at all. They take the place of flour (lower carb and gluten free), add extra protein and fiber too.

The inspiration for these chocolate peanut butter protein brownies came from my deep love for all things chocolate and peanut butter. Of course, with the Macro1 Nutrition ONE Protein in chocolate brownie flavor, these brownies were next level.

There is peanut butter and cocoa powder in the brownies (they couldn’t be chocolate peanut butter protein brownies without it!) Then, for maximum flavor, I also added some chocolate chips on top before I baked them. After baking, I spread all the melted chocolate over top. Finally, I did a nice drizzle of some melted, creamy peanut butter. Mmmm I am salivating just thinking about them.

The only sad part is that even though I am writing this shortly after making these, I have already managed to eat all of them! Ahh it makes me kind of sad. I guess I will just have to make another batch ASAP!
