In a large mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup of all natural peanut butter (crunchy or smooth).

Add 1/4 cup of maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir the wet ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Add 1/3 cup of oat flour (made by blending oats into a fine powder) and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of walnuts (optional) and stir until a sticky batter forms, scraping the sides of the bowl to combine everything well.

Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.

Transfer the brownie batter into the lined baking dish and press it down using your hands to flatten it out.

Melt 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chunks or chips using a double boiler or microwave.

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the brownie mixture in the baking dish.

Place the dish back in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to set the chocolate.

Cut the brownies into about 20 bite-sized squares and serve directly from the freezer.
