Peanut butter and chocolate brownies

Peanut butter and chocolate brownies are a delectable treat that combines the rich, velvety taste of chocolate with the smooth, nutty flavor of peanut butter. This classic combination creates a mouth-watering dessert that is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a gathering, looking to indulge, or simply want to impress your friends and family with your baking skills.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup dark chocolate
170g
1 cup sugar
200g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup peanut butter
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure the brownies don’t stick.

2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the mixture in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Allow it to cool slightly.
3. Mix Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to mix until the mixture is thick and pale.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.
5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture to avoid lumps. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Prepare Peanut Butter Swirl: Spoon the peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it is slightly runny and easier to spread.
7. Assemble in the Pan: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Drop half of the peanut butter in dollops over the batter. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the peanut butter through the batter gently. Repeat with the remaining batter and peanut butter.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want your brownies to remain fudgy.
9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares.
10. Enjoy: Serve the peanut butter and chocolate brownies alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter and chocolate are fully melted and smoothly combined to achieve a consistent batter.

- Use room temperature eggs to prevent the butter from solidifying when mixed.

- Mix the batter gently to avoid overworking the flour, which can result in a dense texture.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to allow them to set properly, ensuring clean and even slices.

- Swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter with a knife for an attractive marbled effect.

- Consider adding a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the chocolate and peanut butter flavors.

- Store brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and moist for several days.

Peanut butter and chocolate brownies are a delightful indulgence that will satisfy any sweet tooth. The harmonious blend of chocolate and peanut butter creates a rich, flavorful treat. Whether you enjoy these brownies warm or at room temperature, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Happy baking!
