Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs , room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup dairy -free dark chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter (drippy)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  • In a small mixing bowl, prepare the peanut butter filling by stirring together the peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and coconut flour until it forms a thick, dough-like consistency. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup maple syrup, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Sift the almond flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking soda into the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined, ensuring no large clumps of flour remain.
  • Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Spread approximately two-thirds of the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
  • Take the peanut butter filling and flatten small portions between your palms to create disks, then place them across the batter until the surface is mostly covered.
  • Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter layer and gently spread to cover the filling.
  • Bake for 26 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the chocolate portion comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before slicing. For the cleanest cuts, refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to serving.
