Fudgy Peanut Chocolate Brownies
Fudgy Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies
Best ever fudgy Brownies with a hint of sea salt and beautiful rich peanut butter. Made with wholesome whole meal flour for that deeper flavour we love. Easy to make and tastes best after set in the fridge over night.
You can add teaspoon of instant espresso powder to get more subtle and distinct flavour. It os essential to use good quality chocolate and cocoa powder to get tastiest Brownies.
INGREDIENTS
65g natural cacao powder from Food Thoughts
185g wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
150g unsalted butter, diced
80g Meridian cacao and peanut butter (or any other nut butter if you like)
300g dark chocolate (around 75% cocoa solids)
150g light brown muscovado sugar
150g dark muscovado sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
30ml milk
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan). Lightly grease, and line with parchment paper square tin ( I used 20x20cm)
Into a large bowl sieve together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. That way we will remove lumps of cocoa.
Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl, set over a pan of simmering water, and heat, stirring occasionally, until fully melted. Or you can melt it in the microwave on a short 30second intervals mixing in between. When all melted, remove and set aside for a couple minutes.
In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, sugars and vanilla. Add milk and whisk little more. Now switch to spatula and pour your chocolate mix in to whisked eggs and mix it all to combine. Pour wet mix in to the bowl with dry ingredients and mix all together. Add your cocoa peanut butter and mix little more. Scrape the batter into the prepared brownie pan and spread into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
The finished brownies will be puffed up a little but still gooey inside. Allow to cool at room temperature for an hour and then put in the the fridge for a couple hours to cool completely and set.
I personally like to leave them in the fridge overnight.
Remove from the tin when ready to eat, and cut in to desired size squares 🙂
Store in air tight container for around 4-5days. But to be honest- they never last this long anyway 🤭🤤
