PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED BROWNIES (GF)



Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies (GF) image

Provided by Laura Strange (www.mygfguide.com)

Categories     Gluten Free Recipe

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

125g dark chocolate
125g milk chocolate
250g salted butter
4 medium eggs
230g golden caster sugar
150g plain gluten free flour
1 x 225g jar good quality peanut butter (I used Pip & Nut)

Steps:

  • Line and grease a 24cm square cake tin. Buttering the whole inside of the tin lightly and lining the base of the tin with greaseproof paper.
  • Melt the butter and the chocolate together in a non-stick saucepan over a low heat. Keep the heat nice and low and stir occasionally until you have a lovely glossy pan of molten chocolate in front of you. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
  • Take a large bowl and add the eggs and sugar. Beat until they are well combined.
  • Once the chocolate mix has cooled a little (it should still be warm, but you should be able to put your little finger in the chocolate mix without it burning you), pour the chocolate and butter into the egg and sugar bowl, stirring the mix quite vigorously as you pour. It is important that the chocolate mix is not hot (just warm) when you pour it, otherwise you risk cooking the eggs. Both mixes should be totally combined now.
  • Sift the gluten free plain flour on top of the chocolate mix and fold it in as you go. Stir well until all the flour is fully combined and there are no little flour lumps remaining.
  • Now pour HALF the brownie mix into the cake tin.
  • Place the peanut butter in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. This will warm in gently and give a slightly runnier consistency.
  • Pour 200g of the peanut butter (i.e. just keep a small amount in the bowl, which you can use to marble the top of the brownies) on the base brownie mix. No need to cover the brownie completely, but try to spread it around as much as possible.
  • Next pour the remaining gluten free brownie mixture on top of the peanut butter layer.
  • Dollop the remaining 25g of peanut butter onto the top of the brownie and draw a knife through the patches of peanut butter to marble and give a feathered pattern on top of the gluten free peanut butter brownies.
  • Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes for gluten free peanut butter brownies with a lovely squidgy centre - they will have a slight wobble to them when you take them out of the oven but you will see the top has begun to crack around the edges and the brownie will have risen slightly. If the mix is still quite sloppy, pop them back in for another 5-10 minutes. I like these gluten free peanut butter brownies to be dense and fudgy and tend to leave them to set fully overnight (or pop them in the fridge for an hour at least). If you prefer cakey brownies, you should cook for 35 minutes (but the fudgey ones are sooo much better).
  • Then when the gluten free peanut butter brownie has fully set you can remove from the tin and chop into chunks. YUM.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Nut Butter Layer
2 large eggs
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup natural unsweetened creamy peanut butter or almond butter
For the Cocoa Layer
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter or virgin coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped or whole nuts, coconut flakes, crushed pretzels, or potato chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the Nut Butter Layer
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8" baking dish with 2 overlapping pieces of parchment paper, leaving at least a 2" overhang on 2 sides.
  • Whisk eggs, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in peanut butter until a smooth, thick batter forms. Scrape into prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
  • Make the Cocoa Layer and Assemble
  • Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixture is light, smooth, and doubled in volume, 3-4 minutes. With mixer running on low speed, slowly beat in butter, then add vanilla and salt and beat to combine. Add cocoa powder and cornstarch. Beat on low speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is thick and holds its shape, about 30 seconds. Pour over nut butter layer and smooth top.
  • Add your choice of toppings or leave top smooth-they're all good options.
  • Bake brownie until top is puffed, glossy, and starting to crack, and the center is just set (it shouldn't jiggle when shaken, but the chocolate layer will still be very gooey), 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Remove brownie from pan using parchment overhang, then cut into 16 squares.

Tips for Making the Best Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Brownies:

  • Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. This will ensure that your brownies have a consistent texture and rise properly.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the gluten-free flour blend, as too much or too little can affect the texture of the brownies.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will dry out the brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free peanut butter brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a gluten-free dessert, give these brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
