Peanut Butter Brownies
This is a twist on my favorite fudgy brownie recipe. Filled with peanut butter cups, topped with a swirl of peanut butter, and sprinkled with more peanut butter cups, these brownies are rich with flavor. They are a great way to use up any extra Halloween candy.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter 65 g
- 3/4 cup brown sugar 150 g
- 1/3 cup avocado oil 60 g
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 g
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder 75 g
- 1/2 cup flour 60 g
- 1/4 tsp baking powder 2 g
- 1 tbsp cornstarch 10 g
- 1/4 tsp salt 2 g
- 12 peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 325º F.
- In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Heat in a saucepan or microwave for 1 minute until sugar is melted.
- Whisk in the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the cocoa flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Melt the peanut butter in the microwave for easy pouring. Pour the peanut butter on top of the brownie batter, and use a skewer to make a swirl design. Top with more chopped peanut butter cups.
- Bake the brownies for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out with a few crumbs when inserted. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool, then slice and serve.
