Description
Fudgy and indulgent brownies swirled with creamy peanut butter for a rich, chocolatey treat that's easy to make and naturally dairy-free. Perfect for any occasion, from casual snacks to festive gatherings.
Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup oil (or melted butter)
1/4 cup milk of choice
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar (unrefined if desired)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour or oat flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, oil, milk, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, stirring until fully combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
- Warm a few tablespoons of peanut butter and drizzle over the top. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use natural creamy peanut butter for best swirl and flavor.
Oat flour can be used for a gluten-free version.
Let brownies cool fully before slicing for clean edges and fudgy texture.
Add espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the fridge.
