Cuisine: American-Inspired

Servings: 6 small brownies

Ingredients

½ cup natural peanut butter *see notes
1 egg
⅓ cup coconut sugar *or finely granulated brown sugar

You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
Add coconut sugar and egg to a large mixing bowl.
Start mixing with an electric mixer until well combined. You could also use a whisk but it will take a bit longer.
Add the peanut butter and mix again until fully incorporated and you end up with a thick, sticky batter.
Line a 8x5 inch (20x13cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
Transfer the sticky brownie batter to the prepared pan. Create an even layer by spreading the batter with the back of a spoon.
The batter will resemble more of a thick paste. Rinsing your spoon with warm water every now and then will help spread out the sticky dough.
Bake for about 20 minutes (+/- 2 min) depending on if you prefer a chewy or a more cakey texture (see notes).
Let cool completely. Serve with toppings of choice (ice cream, homemade caramel sauce...)

Notes

Peanut Butter: For this recipe to work, you will need unsweetened natural creamy peanut butter that consists of just peanuts without any additives like oil. A bit of salt is fine.
Adjust sweetness: These brownies are sweet but not overly so. You can make them sweeter by using ½ cup coconut sugar (90g) instead of ⅓ cup.
Texture: The texture of these peanut butter brownies will vary quite a bit depending on how long you bake them. For fudgy brownies with a soft center, bake them for about 18 minutes. For more cakey brownies, bake for 22 minutes.
Bigger Batch: Feel free to double the ingredients for a bigger batch of brownies.
