Peanut Butter Brownie Christmas Trees

Print Recipe

Festive tree-shaped peanut butter brownies, rich and fudgy with a snowy powdered sugar dusting—perfect for cozy holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth.
  3. Add in the cocoa powder, oat flour, salt, and baking soda, mixing until just combined.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan to firm up.
  7. Once cooled, cut the brownies into triangular “tree” shapes.
  8. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar to mimic snow.
  9. Serve on a white plate for a wintery forest presentation. Optional: decorate with crushed peppermint or edible glitter for extra holiday flair.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the brownies cool fully for clean tree-shaped cuts.
  • You can substitute honey for maple syrup if desired.
  • Decorations like edible glitter or crushed peppermint add festive charm.
