Skinny Double Chocolate Brownies

Skinny Double Chocolate Brownies made with honey, oats & peanut butter. No beans, oil, butter or refined flour. A yummy bar recipe with little guilt!

I sure love a good brownie. How about you? When I was a kid my mom & I would whip up a box of brownies, always with walnuts in them & the dish never lasted more than a day or so. They are so good by themselves or with a scoop of ice cream on top.

But I’m really trying to be good with the things I choose to eat for at least 6 out of the 7 days. So I have been trying out various skinny brownie recipes by some of my friends. While they are all pretty good for a “skinny” dessert, I have found that these Skinny Double Chocolate Brownies are the ones the family loves the most.

I like them because they don’t call for oil, butter or refined flours, which is what makes them skinny. However, there are some skinny brownie recipes out there that replace those things with black beans.

Those are pretty good too, but these actually don’t use beans either. So what is in there? Oat flour & peanut butter, which made these the perfect treat to create for peanut butter bash this month. You see, the challenge was to combine peanut butter & oats.

While I could have made a smoothie or breakfast cookie, all I really wanted was a good brownie & these were calling my name.
