These brownies have no flour in them at all — a cup of peanut butter is doing the structural work, with cocoa powder, coconut sugar and maple syrup, and a flax egg to bind. They bake for twenty minutes in a nine-inch square pan, and then you have to leave them alone. Cutting them warm is the one way to ruin them; they need to cool all the way through or they fall apart on the knife.
1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, and then let it sit in the fridge for 15 min to thicken) If non vegan, can replace with 1 egg
1 cup natural peanut butter
5 tbsp cocoa powder
5 tbsp coconut sugar
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup chocolate chips
1Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch square silicone baking dish with coconut oil (or line with parchment paper),
2In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes to thicken.
3Add in the peanut butter, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
4Fold in the chocolate chips.
5Scoop the dough out and press down into the pan to flatten. Bake for 20 minutes. Let the brownies cool before cutting otherwise they will fall apart easily. Enjoy!
