Peanut Butter and Chocolate Brownies

Originally posted on June 28, 2013


Hey everyone!

One of Nate's favorite desserts is brownies, and chocolate and peanut butter are flavors that we both enjoy.  However, I wanted to find something which was healthier than the average brownie but still had a good texture, was moist and yummy - and then I found this recipe on Dinner of Herb's blog!!
The brownies came out delicious - we couldn't keep our hands off of them, and didn't have to feel guilty the next day either - what a great combination!  They were still a bit cakier than I normally go for, but considering that they were oil and butter free, I was very impressed.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think of them!
