Ingredients

For the brownie base:

  • 1 box low-sugar or light brownie mix
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¼ cup water

For the topping:

  • 3 tbsp powdered peanut butter (like PB2) + 2 tbsp water (or 2 tbsp light peanut butter)
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Optional: fat-free whipped topping or light chocolate syrup for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch round pizza pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Make the Brownie Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, applesauce, egg whites, and water. Stir until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

3. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let it cool completely in the pan.

4. Add the Toppings
In a small bowl, mix powdered peanut butter with water until smooth (or warm your light peanut butter to make it easier to drizzle). Drizzle over the cooled brownie base. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.

5. Slice and Serve
Cut into wedges like a pizza and garnish with whipped topping or a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
