What ingredients are in healthy peanut butter brownies?
- Ripe Bananas- The riper the sweeter! When they are ripe, they are also easier to mash.
- Coconut Sugar- My favorite sugar! It is my go-to in baked goods. It is a natural sugar that is perfectly sweet.
- Butter- Butter adds a rich flavor to these brownies. However, to make these brownies dairy-free, sub for coconut oil.
- Almond Flour- Almond flour is a great gluten-free flour that is full of protein. It is also sturdy and will hold your dessert together.
- Coconut Flour- I love coconut flour. It is a great low-carb, gluten-free flour that adds a little sweetness to the dish.
- Salt
- Cocoa Powder- The cocoa powder will add a rich delicious chocolate flavor.
- Chocolate Chips- Look for paleo options like Hu Chocolate Gems or Enjoy Life
- All-Natural Creamy Peanut Butter- Some peanut butter can be loaded with sugar. Make sure the only ingredients are peanuts.
- Flaky Sea Salt (Optional)
How do I make these brownies?
Begin by preheating the oven to 350F and lining a 6×6 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, use a fork to mash the bananas. Add melted butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract and whisk until combined. Next, mix in almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and cocoa powder. After that, fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into a lined baking sheet. Use a spoon to add spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of the batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them. Enjoy!
