If you’re in the mood for chocolate, these brownies are sinfully delicious!
I found this recipe on the recipe blog, Two Peas and Their Pod. I was so excited when I discovered I already had all of the ingredients in my pantry. How could I pass up giving these a try when I didn’t even have to make a trip to the store?!
These brownies are so moist and yummy! They are loaded with chocolate and perfect for anyone who loves the peanut butter chocolate combination. I topped our dessert with a scoop of Ben & Jerry’s “Cake Batter” ice cream. Heavenly!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
from Two Peas and Their Pod
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate, (2 ounces) coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp table salt
1/3 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup peanut butter – I used creamy1. Position an oven rack on the middle rung. Heat oven to 350°. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake or pie pan.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in the chocolate chunks. Whisk until blended.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, eggs, and extract with a fork until just blended.
4. Pour the liquid over the flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until just blended. The batter will be kind of dry, but don’t worry.
5. Scrape the mixture into the pan and spread evenly. You might have to press the mixture in to the sides if you are having trouble spreading with a spatula. Swirl in the peanut butter with a toothpick or knife.
6. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in to the center comes out with only a few gooey pieces clinging to it. Transfer the baking dish to a cooling rack and let cool. Cut into wedges.
