Fudgy Peanut Butter Brownies: A Decadent Treat for Every Occasion

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Whisk in the sweetener, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Sift in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until a thick batter forms.
Make the Peanut Butter Swirl:

In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sweetener, and coconut oil (if using) until smooth.
Assemble the Brownies:

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake:

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
