Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies Recipe ​

Ingredients:

• 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
• 8 tbsp (4 oz) unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 tbsp instant espresso coffee powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
   • Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Melt Chocolate & Butter:
   • In a heat-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter.
   • Place over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
3. Make the Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract.
   • Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
   • Pour in the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir until well combined. (The batter will be thick—don’t worry, that's perfect!)
4. Prepare for Baking:
   • Press the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
5. Peanut Butter Swirl:
   • Microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds until it’s soft and drizzly.
   • Stir in the powdered sugar.
   • Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter.
   • Using a butter knife, gently swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Bake:
   • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a little peanut butter sticking is okay).
   • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Cool & Slice:
   • Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature before cutting.
   • For cleaner slices, chill the brownies in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up before cutting.

Enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies!
