PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies image

I loved peanut butter brownies as a kid but my adult taste buds now find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about 1/3 from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of three alternate variations that I attempted.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. A natural peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt is ideal.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the brownies are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pan. If it comes out clean, the brownies are done. If there is still batter on the toothpick, bake the brownies for a few more minutes.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter and chocolate chunk brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to potlucks. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy peanut butter filling, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
