Peanut and chocolate together makes a treat in itself. So, when I baked it into brownies we felt super delighted.

My kids could not stop praising its deliciousness and I often make bigger batches to refrigerate.

Since its on a healthy note, I can personally enjoy it more often and that too guilt free. Hence, overall these peanut butter brownies are a must bake so as to impress your family and friends.

I am a fan of peanut butter and so often cook one pot tempeh curry and seitan pasta for savory dishes. However, my favorite is peanut butter milkshake and peanut butter cake.

As far as chocolate is concerned, for a quick dessert I love to make my chocolate truffles and chocolate mousse.

Overall, the two ingredients when combined together creates magic in any recipe.

Ingredients notes:

Coconut milk – I like to us tetra pack coconut milk to keep this dessert light and yet tasty.

Peanut butter – I used pure homemade peanut butter, you may use a store bough one just make sure to read the label and it should be unflavored.

Chocolate chips – I used dairy free mini chocolate chips in this recipe by any semi sweetened dark chocolate chips can be used.

Maple syrup – this sweetens these peanut butter brownies naturally and perfectly.

Almond flour – this is a great substitute to regular flour with being healthy and gluten free. helps in making these flourless brownies amazing.

Coconut flour – this helps in binding and since it absorbs liquid the batter binds well yet keeping it gluten free and flourless.

Cocoa powder – any unsweetened natural cocoa powder works in this recipe.

Superfood – I used a combination of chia sees, flax meal and hemp seeds to add healthy fats, fiber and more nutrition to this recipe.

Banana – this is a great egg replacer and also sweetens these chocolate brownies with peanut butter beautifully.

Secondly, in a large bowl, I combined all the dry ingredients and mixed it well.

Next, I folded in cooked wet ingredients into the dry ingredients along with mashed banana and soaked chia seeds and whipped it into a batter.

Thereafter, I spooned it out on the prepared baking pan and baked it at 350 degree Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes.

As soon as I served these brownies with a scoop of ice cream and garnished with more chocolate chips and peanut butter it wad the best dessert ever.

These brownies are absolutely crowd pleaser and so pretty to present as well.

Expert tips:

  • It is important to cook the wet ingredients very well so the chocolate chips and peanut butter melts well but at the same time do not overcook. hence, you may have to baby sit and stir continuously.
  • most importantly, while whipping up the batter, it may feel a bit doughy but do not add any extra liquid. The trick to whipping the batter it to gather the ingredients from all side with the spatula and smash with the back of the spatula.
