After I published my Peppermint Cheesecake Brownies, I had a reader ask for a peanut butter version. I had already been thinking along that line, but it has taken me a month to get around to testing them out!

I am happy to report that these Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies are just as delicious as they look! The brownie itself is dense and fudgy, while the peanut butter cheesecake layer is creamy and melt-in-your-mouth.

I probably should not tell you how many of these my 2 year old ate . . . in fact, I’m not sure I even know myself! Suffice to say, she loved them - and so did I! The batch I made for photos is completely gone - I think I need to make another batch this week.

I want to play around with the brownie base a little bit and see if I can create my own fudgy brownie recipe. Brownies are my weakness - always have been. Stay tuned for those updates!

These brownies are so easy to make - nothing hard or complicated. Simply melt the chocolate with the butter and mix in all the other ingredients. Swirl the peanut butter cheesecake on top, and bake!

These taste good the same day you have baked them (after they have cooled), but they taste even better the next day after they have been refrigerated. I enjoyed the last one with my coffee yesterday morning!

If you do not have the Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend, you can mix up a blend of equal parts almond flour, coconut flour and flax meal. You can use that mix in a 1:1 measurement in place of the THM Baking Blend. (Be advised that this will change the nutritional information since it is calculated with the Baking Blend.) I often make my own Baking Blend.
