Made with wholesome ingredients like natural nut butter and cocoa powder, these brownies deliver indulgent chocolate flavor while keeping it healthy and simple.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Combine Nut Butter and Sweetener: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the natural peanut or almond butter with the maple syrup or honey until you get a smooth, uniform mixture without lumps.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a creamy batter.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the bowl; stir well to combine, ensuring an even chocolate flavor and proper leavening.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter for added texture and bursts of melted chocolate after baking.
  6. Transfer Batter to Pan: Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, checking for set edges and a slightly soft center to maintain fudginess.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into nine squares to serve.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy and moist.
  • Use natural nut butters with no added sugars or oils for best health benefits and texture.
  • Almond butter will provide a milder flavor compared to peanut butter, choose based on your preference.
  • Store the brownies refrigerated to maintain the best texture and freshness.
