How to Make Fudgy Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies From Scratch

Making these fudgy vegan chocolate peanut butter swirl brownies is kinda fun! 😉 Especially if you’re feeling crafty and want to eat said craft after making it. Lol. First, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir in the cocoa powder ‘til it’s shiny. Then, add in the remaining wet ingredients. Stir in the oat flour ‘til you get a sticky, super shiny brownie batter. Fold in chocolate chips and pour into the pan.

Use a fork to stir together the PB swirl ingredients, then drop dollops of that vegan peanut butter swirl onto the brownie batter. Swirl and bake! Cool and slice your fudgy vegan peanut butter swirl brownies. Pat yourself on the back because: they’re made from scratch. And enjoy. Woot woot!

Substitution Notes for Fudgy Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies Recipe

Peanut Butter: use creamy almond butter, cashew butter, homemade peanut butter or your favorite seed butter.
Coconut Sugar: use organic brown sugar or organic cane sugar.
Maple Syrup: use another liquid sweetener, such as date syrup or agave.
Coconut Oil: swap with melted vegan butter or a flavorless oil.
Flax Eggs: swap with chia eggs.
Vanilla Extract: use almond extract, or your favorite extract. I like almond extract in brownies, like in my Best Vegan Brownies.
Gluten Free Oat Flour: try making your own homemade oat flour or try gluten free all purpose flour. If you want to use almond flour, try my Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies recipe.
Confectioners Sugar: try gluten free oat flour. It’s a bit drier than the confectioners’ sugar, so start with 1 tablespoon until the peanut butter swirl reaches a consistency that’s liquidy enough to swirl, but thick enough to work with.
Note: remember that it’s ideal to stick to the original recipe as written. The more changes you make, the less likely you’ll bake the best fudgy vegan peanut butter swirl brownies.

Storing Notes for Gluten Free Chocolate Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

General Storing Instructions: Cool the brownies completely, then slice. Store vegan gluten free brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
Can I Freeze these Vegan Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies? Yes! After baking, slicing, and cooling the vegan brownies completely, store in a freezer-friendly container. Keep in the freezer for 1-2 months. Before enjoying, allow to thaw for about 15 minutes, or heat in the microwave in 10-second increments until just warm.
