Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the condensed milk, cocoa powder, flour, peanut butter, and any of the optional ingredients if desired.
Stir with a rubber spatula until the batter is sticky and smooth.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the brownies for 25 minutes for a gooey texture or for 28 minutes for a fudgy texture. Check the baking time by inserting a toothpick in the center of the brownies. If it come out clean, the browneis are ready.
Let them cool down for 5 minutes in the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on the top of the warm brownies to let them melt in. Cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes before slicing in to 12 squares.
Notes
Note 1: Coconut condensed milk is a dairy-free version of classic condensed milk. A can of coconut condensed milk weighs 11.25oz (325g). You can swap for classic condensed milk using the same amount, if you use dairy in your kitchen.Note 2: This is equivalent to 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour + 1/3 teaspoon of baking powder + a pinch of sea salt. You can use gluten-free self-rising flour in this recipe if you follow my GF guide.Note 3: You can also use almond butter or cashew butter. For nut-free options, use sunflower seed butter or tahini.Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15 °C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or in the fridge for extra fudgy texture.
