Description
These chocolate peanut butter fudge brownies are rich, ultra-fudgy, and naturally sweetened with wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, maple syrup, and oat flour. They’re easy to make in one bowl and perfect for a guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
1/2 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup oat flour (or almond flour for grain-free option)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add the oat flour and baking soda and mix until fully combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing for best texture.
Notes
For a grain-free version, use almond flour instead of oat flour.
Add 1 tsp of instant espresso powder for a mocha twist.
Top with chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Swirl in extra peanut butter on top before baking for a marbled effect.
Drizzle cooled brownies with melted dark chocolate for extra richness.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
