Fudgy Chocolate Chunk Brownies (Vegan)

OKAY these brownies are so good (and stupid easy) Peanut Butter replaces some of the oil, so in my mind that means they are healthier. They are super fudgy, chocolaty & vegan. This is the only chocolate brownie recipe I'm ever gonna need or want. I made them in a loaf pan, and it was the perfect size for a small batch of brownies. It makes 8 - 10, depending how big you slice em. This recipe is for all the chocolate lovers out there...and for me....because real talk... I'm probably not sharing the batch I just made. 

Recipe:

Ingredients:
​

• 1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup sunflower oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
• 2 T ground flax + 6 tbsp water (flax eggs)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup chopped vegan chocolate (to decorate the top)

Method: 
​

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper
3. Mix ground flax with 6 tbsp of water in a small dish, let sit 10 min
4. In a large bowl whisk together peanut butter, veg oil, coconut sugar. Add flax eggs and whisk to combine
5. Mix in strong brewed coffee & vanilla. 
6. Rest a mesh strainer over the bowl and sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder & salt.
7. Whisk to combine. Batter will be thicker than you think it should be...chill, it's all good.
8. Dump batter into your prepared pan, smooth out the top. Sprinkle over the chocolate chunks & press into the batter a bit.
9. Bake approx for 35 - 40 minutes. Top looks slightly puffed and a few cracks in the surface when finished. I start checking at the 30 minute mark. 
10. Cool & cut into squares
