Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond butter
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (optional, unsweetened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the almond butter and coconut oil together, stirring until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, walnuts (if using), and shredded coconut (if using). The batter will be thick.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Serve and enjoy your earthy, Big Sur-inspired brownies!
