Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp old fashioned rolled oats Certified gluten-free if needed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda *If using Dutch process cocoa, use baking powder. Dutch process isn't acidic enough to react with baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- ½ cup regular cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
Wet ingredients:
- ¾ cup peanut butter, salted Smooth or crunchy
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
Additions:
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips, semi-sweet
- ½ cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line an 8 inch x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pulse oats in food processor until they're the consistency of coarse flour (a few larger pieces are okay). Add remaining dry ingredients and pulse to combine. Transfer to a bowl.
- Combine wet ingredients in food processor, and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry ingredients to food processor and pulse until everything is combined. The batter will be thick and sticky. Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the lined pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes, inserting a toothpick (or knife or chopstick) into the center to test for doneness.
- Remove from oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack, and cool completely (if possible) before cutting into 16 squares.
Notes
- Tips and Substitutions
- If you have brewed coffee on hand, replace 2 tablespoons of the milk with coffee for enhanced chocolate flavor.
- For peanut-free brownies try these with sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- If you're interested in reducing the sugar or choosing unrefined options, check out Hu brand chocolates, and use coconut or date sugar instead of brown sugar.
- Storage
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen.
