ingredients

16 Servings

150 g unsalted butter200 g granulated sugar3 large eggs100 g all-purpose flour30 g unsweetened cocoa powder0.5 tsp salt1 tsp vanilla extract100 g creamy peanut butter50 g roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F, 160°C fan). Line a roughly 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift out the brownies later.

Melt Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate over a double boiler or on low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Mix Batter

In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar with the eggs and vanilla extract until light and creamy. Fold in the melted chocolate-butter mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the peanut butter on top and swirl it gently with a knife or toothpick. Sprinkle with half of the roughly chopped roasted peanuts. Repeat the layering with the remaining batter, peanut butter, and peanuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Do not overbake! Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting them into bites.

Extra Tips

► Don't overbake the brownies, or they will dry out! They are perfect when the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.

► You can create the peanut butter swirls with a fork or a toothpick for a more artistic pattern.

► Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them; this will ensure much cleaner slices.
