These Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Stuffed Protein Brownies are ultra gooey and indulgent, with a sneaky high-protein boost. Made with Macro Mike’s Double Choc Chip Brownie Mix + Salted Caramel Powdered Peanut Butter, they’re easy to make, gluten-free, and they are quite literally my dream dessert! Trust me when I tell you, you’re going to want these on repeat!

I’ve been wanting to collab with Macro Mike forever, so I knew I had to bring something good for this one. These Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Stuffed Protein Brownies are my DREAM. They are layered with a thick creamy salted caramel peanut butter center and topped with a simple salted caramel peanut butter yogurt frosting—all made with better-for-you ingredients.

It’s soft, it’s salty, and it takes these to a whole other level of delicious. They’re indulgent in the best way possible, with a sneaky protein boost to keep things more balanced. I promise you, these disappear fast!

Watch Me Make Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies

I’m all about making desserts that taste nostalgic but are made with ingredients that feel good to eat. I definitely don’t think every treat needs to be protein-packed—but it’s such an easy way to add balance to a dessert like this. Plus, when it tastes like this?? Why the heck not! Plus (as if you needed another excuse) with Macro Mike’s current EOFY sale (up to 70% off!), it’s the perfect time to stock up and try these brownies for yourself. The sale is running until the 23rd of June, so grab a bag (or 5) while you can!

One bite of that gooey salted caramel peanut butter center… trust me, you’ll be hooked. You’ll want to keep a stash of these in your fridge at all times.

Why You’ll Love These

• Ultra gooey + rich - The brownie layers are fudgy, while the peanut butter center stays soft.

• High protein - Thanks to Macro Mike’s protein-packed mix + PB powder.

• Gluten-free - The mix is gluten-free and refined sugar free.

• Easy to make - Just layer, bake, and frost! No skills required!

What You’ll Need

• Macro Mike Salted Caramel Powdered Peanut Butter - Make sure that it’s thin enough to spread into an even layer in the pan, but not too thin, add 1 tbsp of water at a time. I also add a big scoop for the frosting and it is 12/10.

• Macro Mike Double Choc Chip Brownie Mix - The base of the brownies.

• Coconut milk - Any non-dairy or dairy milk will work here, use what you have!

• 1 egg - Optional, but helps with structure.

• Coconut oil - Again, optional, but adds extra richness.

• Thick coconut yogurt - Make sure it’s a super thick brand, if you want even more protein you could even use greek yogurt!

How to Make It:

1. Prepare the peanut butter layer and freeze.

2. Mix the brownie batter and layer half in a pan, followed by the frozen peanut butter, then the rest of the batter.

3. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

4. Mix the yogurt and peanut butter powder together until smooth.

5. Cool completely, and top with the peanut butter yogurt frosting. Slice and enjoy!

Recommended Tools:

• Glass mixing bowls

• Silicone spatula

• Stainless steel measuring cups + spoons

• Small square baking pan (5–6 inch)

• Parchment paper

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I have to freeze the salted caramel peanut butter layer?
  Yes! Freezing it ensures it stays as a distinct layer when baked. If you skip this step, the peanut butter will dissolve into the brownie batter.

• How should I store these brownies?
  Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They’re great chilled straight from the fridge!

• Can I make them dairy-free?
  Absolutely! Use thick coconut yogurt (or any dairy-free alternative) for the frosting, and coconut milk for the brownies.

• Can I double the recipe?
  Yes! You can double everything and use a larger baking pan—just adjust the bake time as needed.

Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Stuffed Protein Brownies

These Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Stuffed Protein Brownies are ultra fudgy and packed with flavor — layered with a gooey salted caramel peanut butter center and topped with creamy peanut butter yogurt frosting. Made with Macro Mike’s Double Choc Chip Brownie Mix + Salted Caramel Powdered Peanut Butter, they’re gluten-free, high protein, and perfect for when you’re craving something decadent but balanced. Keep a batch in the fridge — they only get better the next day!

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 30 MinInactive time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 45 M

Ingredients

For the Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Layer:

• 1/3 cup Macro Mike Salted Caramel Powdered Peanut Butter
• 4 tbsp water

For the Brownies:

• 1 package Macro Mike Double Choc Chip Brownie Mix
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

For the Frosting

• 1/2 cup thick coconut yogurt
• 1/4 cup Macro Mike Salted Caramel Powdered Peanut Butter

Instructions

1. Mix 1/3 cup powdered peanut butter with 4 tbsp water until thick. Line a small pan with parchment paper and spread the peanut butter mixture into an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour. Once frozen, remove from pan and keep in freezer until ready to use.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, coconut milk, egg, and coconut oil until smooth.
3. Line a 5–6 inch square pan with parchment. Pour half the brownie batter into the pan and spread to edges. Place the frozen peanut butter layer on top. Pour remaining brownie batter over and spread to cover.
4. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
5. For the frosting, mix coconut yogurt with 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.
6. Slice and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They’re great chilled straight from the fridge, or you can freeze them for longer storage (just don’t frost before freezing!). I’d recommend making two batches — frost one and keep it in the fridge to enjoy now, and slice + freeze the unfrosted brownies in a sealed container for later.

Notes

• For dairy-free, use thick coconut yogurt or other non-dairy alternative.
• The brownies get even fudgier after chilling overnight — highly recommend!
• You can easily double the recipe and use a larger pan.
