Good morning!
It’s National Peanut Butter Day 2022. There are lots of tasty things you can make with peanut butter.
Here is a Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie recipe that is sure to please.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
A brownie that combines the taste of chocolate and peanut butter into a gooey brownie
Ingredients
- non-stick cooking spray
Chocolate Layers
- ½ c. unsalted butter melted
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ t. vanilla extract
- ½ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 t. salt
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/3 c. creamy peanut butter
- 2 T. unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 c. granulated sugar
- ¼ c. packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ t. real vanilla extract
- ½ c. all-purpose flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/8 t. salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8” x 8” pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix all the ingredients for the chocolate layer in a large mixing bowl, adding in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt last. Lightly fold in the flour and cocoa powder until just mixed. (Do not over mix or the brownies will turn out cake-like).
- Mix the ingredients for the peanut butter brownie layer, again saving the flour, baking powder and salt for last and stirring until just mixed.
- Spread peanut butter brownie layer on the bottom of the pan and top it with the chocolate brownie layer, spreading the batter for both layers out evenly.
- Bake for 22 minutes. Brownies will still be soft and gooey, but will finish setting while they cool. Enjoy!
