What would be a good sub for the peanut butter? More eggs?

For the texture it needs fat so almond butter or sunflower butter is a swap
Thanks for the reply! Can you tell me what peanut butter you use that has less grams of fat? All natural peanut butter looks the same to me so it would be impossible to get those numbers (8gms of fat per 9th of a brownie). Thank you!

Usually Costco but 1/2 c most brands of peanut butter has 64g fat divided by 9 brownies, that’s 7g per brownie from pb. The other gram is from chocolate chips. Hope this helps😊
Love these! I can’t get the calorie total though. Mine comes out with 16g fat and 15.7 carbs per 9th making them 229 calories each. The peanut butter alone adds 14g of fat per serving. What am I missing?

Brands of ingredients can make numbers vary for sure
I made these tonight for the first time and they were a hit!! They came out super moist and my most pickiest of picky eaters even ate two! I can’t tell him there’s sweet potato in it or he’ll never eat them again but we all loved them. Will double the recipe next time for sure.

Hooray! And yes I almost always double and they freeze well too.
This recipe SO good!! I left out the sweetener and eat it warm with a scoop of ice cream. Feels like dessert from a fancy restaurant. ☺️

Thanks so much for sharing! Is there anything better than a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream?! Ha
