These peanut butter cookie dough brownies feature fudgy homemade brownies topped with a thick layer of creamy peanut butter cookie dough and colorful candy. 
My husband and I are the perfect example for the well know saying “the opposite attract”.
He can talk your ear off even if he just met you. I can hardly say 3 words if I don’t know you.
He loves the country side, I’m a city girl at heart.
He loves dark colors, for me the brighter, the better.
He loves the frosting, I love the cake.
He loves peanut butter, I’m a chocolate girl.
Now of course, there are things we both love. One of them are these peanut butter cookie dough brownies.
A bite and we both agreed it was going to be hard to share with others.
The recipe for these peanut butter cookie dough brownies is slightly adapted from my friend Averie’s book “Peanut butter comfort”
If I crave something peanut butter, Averie’s blog or the book is my go-to. This girl knows peanut butter, I’m telling you! I’ve already made a few treats for her book and have like a gazillion others bookmarked. My husband already declared it the book of the year.
Few days ago, while thinking of eggless cookie dough treats I remembered these brownies in Averie’s book. They feature a layer of rich fudge brownies and once cooled are topped with peanut butter cookie dough.
I made just minor changes to her recipe.
I left out the coffee in the brownie and baked them for 33 minutes. The recipe calls for just 26 minutes of baking time but I found they were still runny. At 33 minutes they turned out just the way I like them. Rich and fudgy.
For the peanut butter cookie dough, I actually used quick cooking oats (although she notes to use rolled oats).
The all purpose flour has been substituted with almond meal. Although I have no problems with me eating raw flour, my daughter doesn’t care much for it, so I try to avoid if possible.
Last, instead of adding lots and lots of chocolate chips I just topped the brownies with (hard to chop) Reese’s peanut butter eggs. Of course you can use a combo of chocolate and peanut butter chips or whatever colorful candy you have on hard.
You really can’t go wrong with fudgy brownies creamy peanut butter on top and colorful candy.

Happy baking,

These look TO DIE FOR, Roxana! I love the combination of rich, fudgy brownies with the peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough and Reese’s eggs (my favorite!) Such a great recipe…happy to be part of such a fun week with you!
Thanks for the nice things you said about me being your PB go-to girl 🙂 Your brownies are awesome. The Reese’s on top I bet add such a nice little crunch! Pinned 🙂
the recipe says it takes a total of 3 hours.. is this because they need chilled for a few hours to set or something? i’m thinking of making these for easter! thanks 🙂
Hi Kaitlyn,
It says 3 hours because you have to wait for the brownies to cool before spreading the peanut butter cookie dough on top, otherwise the warmth of the brownies will soften the cookie dough.
These looks am amazing! I love the crushed peanut butter on top! Thanks for participating!
Love your tweaks to Averie’s scrumptious PB brownie recipe, Roxy! Seriously, almond meal/flour in place of AP flour in the topping is brilliant so your daughter will like them. Love the chopped Reese’s PB eggs on top. Perfect for Easter!
Very creative, Roxana! Opposites DO attract… I totally agree! Loving how you made these brownies with the oats inside of the cookie dough… very decadent! Pinned!
SWOOOOONING over these brownies, Roxana! I love how chunky and delicious that thick layer of peanut butter cookie dough looks. And those PB Reese’s eggs are out of control.
These look incredible, Roxana! Pinned!
That is one big layer of cookie dough and I LOVE IT!!! What a brownie Roxana!
Brownies get me every time. These look so fantastic, girl!
Oh my these look good!
These turned out BEAUTIFUL, Roxana! Pinned!
These look and sound so fabulous! Our whole household is not chocolate or peanut butter… we love the combo! 🙂 Pinning to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I would have a hard time sneaking a few of these away from my husband! They sound amazing!
Oh my gosh I am DROOLING! These look so good!! Love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, and all those extra treats in the cookie dough look amazing!!
I think these brownies are the PERFECT combo-just like you and your hubby 😀
Oh my goodness these look incredible!
Oh my goodness yes! Cookie dough. Peanut Butter. Brownies. Triple winner to me.
Roxana, these look great! I love everything about them! Did you redo your site? The header looks different (and lovely!) digging the creativity.
Your brownies have to be one of the most cheerful ones I’ve seen yet. Love how you put in the pastel egg shaped Reese candies. Perfect for Easter coming up 🙂
Amazing!! I think I could eat the entire pan! Pinned!
