Peanut Butter Brownies
Servings: 15 very large brownies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz 50% dark chocolate* chopped
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- Lina 9x13x2 inch pan with parchment paper, or line with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Ensure there's an overhang over the sides - this makes it easier to lift the brownies out.
- Add the butter, chopped chocolate and peanut butter to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute on medium power (not high), remove from the microwave and stir. Repeat the process until almost melted, then stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl beat together the eggs and sugar until glossy and lighter in color (about 2 minutes).
- Whisk the egg mixture into the melted peanut butter & chocolate mixture a little at a time.
- Carefully fold the cocoa powder, flour & salt into the batter using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Fold in the peanut butter chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes - or until the top looks set and an inserted toothpick comes out clean or with a few damp crumbs. The middle of the pan shouldn't wobble if you nudge the pan.
- Cool fully (about 3-4 hours) before cutting into squares with a thin, sharp knife.
Notes
*Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Brownies freeze well, then thaw overnight in the fridge.
