A moist chocolate brownie with a swirl of peanut butter gives you a tasty treat.
These brownies are just so soft. Luckily for me the Chief Taster was travelling so I got to be the sole taster. I normally let the brownies cool before eating but curiousity got the better of me. Very delicious warm. So much that I had to cut them into squares once cool and wrap them up for the freezer before I ate the whole tin.
I used chunky peanut butter only because the smooth was not available in my normal brand. The crunch added something to the brownie but smooth would be just as nice.
Although I used coconut flour for this, you could make this recipe with almond flour too. Perhaps with less egg and coconut milk though as coconut flour does love liquid!
I cut the total bake into 9 squares but you could cut smaller portions if you wanted (but why! I cry). They freeze very well and are a handy snack to have in the freezer.

Do you use culinary coconut milk or drinking coconut milk?
Coconut milk from a can.
If I wanted to omit the peanut butter to decrease carbs, do you think this would be good as a cream cheese brownie?
I normally use truvia as my substitute. Think that’ll work okay?
Looks luscious!
You could and it would still be yummy. Here's another recipe you might like. https://divaliciousrecipes.com/cheesecake-brownie-almond-flour/
Hello! This recipe looks delicious! What sugar substitute do you recommend? I sometimes worry about using Stevia because the conversions to some "sugar substitutes" are not correct.
You are quite right as you only need a dash of stevia! I prefer erythritol but will dip into xylitol if that's not available. I've heard great things about monkfruit sugar but that's sadly not for sale where I live.
