Description
Rich, fudgy brownies made with peanut butter, cocoa, and maple syrup—naturally gluten-free and perfect for a healthier dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Add cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, and eggs. Mix until fully combined.
Spread batter evenly in the baking dish.
Optionally sprinkle chocolate chips or swirl extra peanut butter on top.
Bake 20–25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in pan for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use almond butter or swirl in extra peanut butter for variation.
Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for texture.
A pinch of espresso powder gives a mocha twist.
Naturally gluten-free; sweetened PB may require less maple syrup.
