Small-Batch Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

These Small-Batch Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies are oil-free, refined-sugar-free and will definitely satisfy all your cravings without making enough to feed an entire group of people. They also pair amazingly with a glass of non-dairy milk or tea.

SMALL BATCH PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

We all know that peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven. So naturally, you can’t go wrong with these. I made these brownies “small batch” because let’s be honest, we’re not baking for tons of people very often these days. We are just looking to satisfy our own chocolatey cravings.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE BROWNIES:

This recipe only requires 10-ingredients and you probably already have them kicking around in your pantry. If you’re a self-proclaimed peanut butter and chocolate fanatic like me, you undoubtedly have the two key ingredients in your home at all times!

• Coconut sugar
• Peanut butter
• Cocoa powder
• All-purpose flour
• Non-dairy milk
• Chocolate chunks
• Ground flax
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract
• Baking powder

TIPS FOR THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

• Don’t over-bake. This is generally a good rule to follow when it comes to baking. Baking brownies too long will result in dryer (less moist) brownies. I always take out my baked goods when they are slightly underdone and allow them to cool and cook through on the hot baking sheet/pan.
• Let them set. Allow the brownies to set and cool completely. They’re very fragile straight out of the oven and will fall apart if not given the chance to set completely.
