Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup nut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate bar
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and 8x8 baking pan with butter (or oil).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand- or stand-mixer on high until smooth and fluffy. Add in the egg, nut butter and vanilla - one at a time - and beat again until incorporated. Set aside.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl and stir. Slowly scoop spoonfuls of the dry ingredient mixture into the large bowl of butter-sugar-egg mixture. Keep the mixing speed on low to prevent flour from flying everywhere. Mix until just combined and gently fold in the chocolate bar chunks and nuts.
  • Transfer the batter into the greased baking pan and lightly press it to evenly spread throughout the pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool before slicing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • Enjoy!
