Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies are the best brownies in my opinion. The mix of peanut butter and chocolate is just so good!

Ingredients

For the brownies

  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 240 g sugar
  • 70 g unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 eggs cold
  • 70 g all purpose flour

For the peanut butter swirl

  • 100 g peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

Instructions

  • Put the butter, sugar, cacao, salt and vanilla essence in the bowl where you're going to whip them up later.
  • Put the bowl on a bain-marie without touching the surface of the water until everything is melted and mixed together.
  • Remove the bowl from the bain marie and wait 5min for it to cool down a bit. You should be able to touch the outside of the bowl without burning yourself.
  • Mix using a stand or hand-held mixer and add the eggs one at a time. Mix until fully incorporated + 3 minutes.
  • Add the flour and mix for 3 minutes on high speed.
  • Put the mix into a mould lined with baking paper and flatten it out.
  • Mix the peanut butter with the sugar until smooth. Put teaspoon-sized dollops of it scattered around the brownie and make swirls using a chopstick.
  • Take to a preheated oven at 160°C/320℉ for 20-30min or until you can insert a toothpick at the centre and it comes out with a few wet crumbs (we don't want it to dry out completely).
  • Let cool and cut.
