Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8 x 8 in (20 x 20 cm) pan with baking paper.
  • Place all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl, stir to combine, and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Add the eggs and almond milk to the mixture and stir again.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients, then add the melted coconut oil and mix to combine. Gently fold in the melted chocolate.
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the lined pan and top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  • Place the pan into the hot oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the mixture is almost cooked in the center.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  • Cut into 12 even-sized brownies and serve warm or cooled.
