Cocoa powder will give you that mood boosting sweet treat without spiking your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling energised and not sluggish.
Each brownie is amazingly moreish, due to the addition of peanut butter which prevent this dish being too sickly sweet. I used all natural peanut butter, which is a great source of fibre, potassium and healthy fats.
Peanut butter lovers will LOVE these! The hardest part is not to eat them all in one go!
