• ½ cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup cacao powder
• ½ teaspoon each of Celtic sea salt, baking soda, chocolate chips

Procedure

• Pulse in vanilla, vinegar, cacao powder, salt, and baking soda
• Stir in chocolate chips by hand
• Transfer batter to a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish

However, here is a postscript (PS) for those who are conscious about it.

Most baked dishes that have sun butter as ingredient have a strong aftertaste, which is somewhat bitter. So, most kids and many grown-ups usually do not prefer the use of sun butter in desserts. In contrast to that the brownies mentioned above turn out to be really exceptional.

Using raw cacao powder invariably improves the health quotient of the dishes to considerable extent along with delivering a slightly different taste.
