Servings 16 Brownies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sugar (400 g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter, melted (227 g)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate liqueur (or 2 tsp vanilla)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50 g)
  • 1 cup flour (125 g)
  • 3/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter (180 ml)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C.) Prepare an 8x8 inch (20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the salt and sugar. Add the melted butter and liqueur or extract and stir until well combined. Next, add the eggs one at a time, stirring until each one is fully incorporated.
  • Next, add the cocoa powder and stir until it is well combined. Add the flour last, stirring until it is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place spoonfuls of the peanut butter evenly over the surface of the batter, then use a knife or toothpick to create a swirl pattern.
  • Bake at 350° F (180° C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the brownies no longer wobbles. Store at room temperature for 3-4 days, or a little longer in the refrigerator.
