Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup plant milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup for swirl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk the flour, cocoa, and sugar, then stir in the coconut oil, plant milk, and vanilla into a thick batter.
  3. Spread the batter into the pan in an even layer.
  4. Warm the peanut butter with the maple syrup until pourable and dollop it over the batter.
  5. Drag a knife through to create swirls, then bake 28 to 30 minutes until set at the edges.
  6. Cool fully, then chill briefly so the swirls slice cleanly.

Notes

Use natural drippy peanut butter so it swirls smoothly.
