Vegan Peanut Butter Brownies

These delicious vegan peanut butter brownies are rich, super fudgy and stuffed with lots of yummy pure peanut butter. It makes for an indulgent treat for all plant-based peanut butter fans.


Vegan Peanut Butter Brownies

Recipe goals in 2021: prepare a lot more plant-based treats. Starting it off with these incredibly indulgent vegan peanut butter brownies this year. My first stuffed brownie/blondie recipe and I am absolutely amazed by the upgrade. I feel like I can never go back and just prepare regular brownies. šŸ˜›

While these brownies are plant-based, gluten-free and refined sugar-free, they are still deliciously fudgy and taste just like the real deal, except much better. Super indulgent, rich and perfect for any peanut butter lovers. To make them paleo, add any other of your favorite nut-butters.

Vegan Peanut Butter Brownies

What you need to prepare stuffed brownies:

This vegan recipe calls for 2 flax eggs. Mix 2 tbsp of flax meal with 6 tbsp of plant-based milk or water. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes. This recipe can be made with two whole organic eggs as well for non-vegan. 

Use ½ cup of avocado oil. You can use melted coconut oil as well or other vegetable oils.  

Melt 1 ½ cups coconut sugar with 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk to create a syrup.  If you don’t happen to have milk at home, feel free to use water. 

For the chocolate part you’ll need ¾ cup of raw cacao powder. I recommend using raw unsweetened cacao powder instead of sweetened cocoa to ensure clean ingredients. 

As a flour I used 1 ½ cups of gluten-free baking flour. I love using Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour blend in my recipes but you can sub with other gluten-free flours or all purpose flour as well. 

To make the brownies even fudgier I added vegan stevia sweetened chocolate chips into the batter. If not available, leave them out. 

For the peanut butter layer I mixed 1 cup of creamy and smooth no-stir peanut butter with 1/3 cup of golden coconut sugar using an electric mixer. The golden coconut sugar is a bit lighter than regular coconut sugar and helps keeping the peanut butter layer light. If not available, regular coconut sugar will do. 

To keep the recipe clean, I recommend using unsweetened peanut butter without any additives. To make it paleo you can use almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, etc. 

Last but not least, add salt. If using salted peanut butter, leave out the additional salt.
