Recipe:
Ingredients: Brownie Batter Layer:
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup
- 1.5 tsp of pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp of pink salt
- 1 cup of fine oat flour (gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
Caramel Layer:
- 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 3-4 tbsp of milk of choice
- 1/4 tsp of pink salt
- 3/4-1 cup of crushed peanuts
Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips
- 1 tsp of coconut oil (omit for oil-free)
Instructions:
- For the brownie batter layer, whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the oat flour and cocoa powder until well combined. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch dish.
- For the caramel layer, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and salt in a bowl (excluding the crushed peanuts). Spread this caramel over the brownie layer and sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
- For the topping, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together either on the stovetop or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly over the caramel layer.
- Refrigerate the bars for 2 hours to set. To cut, run a knife under hot water, gently rock back and forth through the chocolate layer, then slice through. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy these luscious bars chilled for a truly decadent experience!
