Fudgy chocolate brownies made with almond butter and maple syrup, loaded with chocolate chips and chopped peanuts, then finished with a chocolate drizzle and flaky sea salt. Basically a peanut butter cup meets a brownie
0 Preheat your oven to 350°F.Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the sides so you can easily lift the brownies out later.In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the almond butter on medium speed until smooth.Add the eggs or flax eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.Add the cacao powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix until you have a thick, fudgy batter.Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.Top with more chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly fudgy.Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.Let the brownies cool completely before lifting them out of the pan and slicing.Finish with a drizzle of melted chocolate and even more chopped peanuts if you're feeling like doing the most.
