This recipe is perfect for chocolate and peanut butter lovers and is sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a delightful dessert after dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal of brownies later.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the chocolate candies and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and chocolate mixture with the stevia leaf sweetener. Make sure to stir well to incorporate the sweetener evenly.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the whole-grain wheat flour using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter for about 20–30 seconds until it is slightly runny and easier to swirl.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Drizzle the heated peanut butter over the top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (be careful not to overbake).
8. Cool:
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, cut into squares.
- Serve the peanut butter swirl brownies as a delicious treat. Enjoy with a glass of milk or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter and chocolate are melted and combined smoothly to achieve a rich and glossy brownie batter.
- Use room temperature eggs to help the ingredients blend more uniformly.
- For an extra crunchy texture, consider adding some chopped peanuts or chocolate chunks into the batter.
- Swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter gently with a knife to create a beautiful marbled effect.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices and a set texture.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week for longer freshness.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of delightful peanut butter swirl brownies that will impress your family and friends. These brownies are not only easy to make but also offer a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Enjoy them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or pack them as a sweet snack for any occasion.
