Fudgy Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

My first thought when it comes to brownies is they are a SUPER RICH and delicious treat. These are no exception. The almond meal makes them delightfully fudgy but also packs in healthy fat, fibre and a dose of protein.

  1. These sound delicious! I think that these would be great as a post workout treat. For example, the addition of almonds and peanuts makes for a great way to add nutrients back into the body after a strenuous workout. While this isn’t the typical thing to eat after every work out, there’s nothing wrong with having it every once in a while!
