Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter:
  • All-purpose flour – 1 cup
  • Cocoa powder – ¼ cup
  • Baking powder – ½ tsp
  • Coconut oil – ½ cup melted
  • Coconut sugar – ¾ cup
  • Almond milk – ½ cup
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
  • Dark vegan chocolate – ½ cup melted
  • Pinch of salt
For the Peanut Butter Swirl:
  • Creamy natural peanut butter – ⅓ cup
  • Maple syrup – 1 tbsp
  • Almond milk – 1 tbsp

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond milk, vanilla, and melted chocolate until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed — don’t overthink it, or the brownies will judge you.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, maple syrup, and almond milk until creamy.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter mix over the brownie batter.
  8. Swirl it beautifully with a knife — channel your inner artist here.
  9. Bake for 28–32 minutes until set but still gooey in the center.
  10. Cool completely before cutting, or risk a chocolatey mess (still delicious, though).

Additional Notes / Tips

  • Use smooth peanut butter — chunky ones make swirling look like a toddler’s art project.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for that irresistible sweet-salty contrast.
  • Want extra drama? Add crushed peanuts or chocolate chips before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days (if you actually have leftovers).
  • Serve warm with vegan vanilla ice cream — it’s illegal not to.
