This quick chocolate peanut butter brownies recipe will cure those hunger pains.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 22 minutes
Yields: 9 servings
Ingredients:
non-stick cooking spray
Chocolate Layers
½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ cup of all-purpose flour
½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon of salt
Peanut Butter Layer
1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoon of unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
¼ cup of packed brown sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon of real vanilla extract
½ cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/8 teaspoon of salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 180°C and line an 20cm x 20cm 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.
