Description

Indulge in these decadent Peanut Butter Brownies with a healthy twist! These fudgy treats are gluten-free and dairy-free, made with natural ingredients like almond flour and coconut oil.


Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until fully combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan, spread evenly, and bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • You can use honey instead of maple syrup.
  • For a vegan option, substitute eggs with flax eggs.
  • These brownies are rich and fudgy without refined flour or sugar.
