Peanut butter stuffed brownies are no bake, made of a brownie layer, with a peanut butter filling in between. This creamy peanut butter filling is made of yogurt and peanut butter. They are ready in 15 minutes or less and are easy to store in the freezer long term.

Brownies – every chocoholic’s dream come true – and like me you will want to make them over and over (and over) again. Made with just a handful of good-for-you ingredients, they taste like a rich, fudgy brownie that will melt in your mouth!

These healthy, no bake protein brownies are the perfect snack or sweet treat! This recipe could not be easier, they are so fudgy and chewy. Refined sugar free, packed with protein, energizing carbs, and healthy fats, these brownies make a great, balanced treat option!

I have a special place in my heart for no bake desserts. They were the first kind of recipes I started experimenting with when I started making healthier treats. No bake brownies in particular, they somehow taste like you are eating brownie batter in a dense, chewy, fudgy brownie form. WILD.

This brownie recipe is just like the kind you buy, but oh so much better, without truckloads of refined sugar and no weird artificial flavours and preservatives. So much healthier and with way better taste and texture than anything you can buy at a store.

Protein is getting a lot of hype right now and for good reason. When I first started studying nutrition, I quickly hopped on the protein train. I try to aim for 30g of protein at each meal and ensure my snacks in between have a little.

Another great thing about protein, is when you pair it with your sweet treats and desserts, it helps prevent blood sugar spikes.

There is protein powder in this recipe to make sure we get the satisfying component of eating a sweet healthy treat. I find if the treat is not balanced (not enough protein and lots of carbs), it leaves me hungry a couple of hours after but when there is sufficient protein I stay full and happy for longer.

Because of this, I love adding protein into my snacks and treats as it’s an easy way to hit those protein goals – and tastes amazing! The brownie layer is made from a almond flour, nut butter, cocoa, protein powder base which creates the chewy and fudgy texture that we all crave in a brownie! They are then layered with a luscious chocolate topping that is rich and decadent in all the best ways!

This recipe is an ideal treat that is perfect for placating your sweet tooth when you are on a healthier eating kick. Don’t get me wrong, these brownies aren’t diet food. They are, however, made out of nutrient-dense ingredients and are healthy. Keep some in your fridge or freezer to eat with any dessert or simply eat it them on their own.

Leftovers (if there are leftovers… how could there possibly be leftovers?!) can stay in out for a few days, making these brownies a fantastic option to keep in the fridge for a dessert or any time snack.

Enjoy one of these amazing brownies by itself or pair it with a scoop of ice cream for an even more drool-worthy treat! No matter when or where you plan on serving these brownies, everyone will LOVE them.

Great for parties, barbeques or pot lucks and celebrations of all kinds! If you are looking to increase your protein intake or just need a healthy snack, these brownie protein bars are my pick!
