Notes
- For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.
- To make these brownies sweeter, increase the maple syrup or sugar.
- For extra fudginess, add one more tablespoon of coconut flour.
- Can be made dairy-free by using dairy-free chocolate chips or omitting them.
- If you are on a keto diet, replace maple syrup with a sugar-free syrup and use a low-carb sweetener.
