Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams smooth peanut butter
- 75 grams roasted peanuts (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Step 4
Stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Step 7
Heat the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to loosen it slightly. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter onto the surface of the brownie batter, then use a knife or skewer to create swirls.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts evenly over the top of the batter.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 11
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 pieces and serve. Enjoy!
