Peanut Butter Brownies
Description
This recipe combines white sugar, softened butter, water, and semi-sweet chocolate melted together to form a rich base. After mixing in egg and vanilla, dry ingredients including flour and baking soda are folded in. Peanut butter chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips are stirred into the batter to add texture and flavor. The batter is portioned into a lined muffin pan to produce individual brownies.
Baking at 350°F for about 13 minutes results in a top that appears set but has a moist center. Cooling on a wire rack allows the centers to sink slightly, creating a cavity. Melted peanut butter is spooned into each hole, adding a smooth, creamy contrast. Additional chocolate chips decorate the top, enhancing the visual appeal and chocolate flavor.
These brownies are excellent for single servings and make a convenient treat or dessert portioned for easy sharing. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate yields a familiar flavor pairing with a soft, moist texture suited for those who enjoy luscious, rich brownies.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup butter softened, regular
- 1 TB water
- ¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips for melting
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup peanut butter chips
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips plus 1/3 cup for garnish
- ¾ cup peanut butter creamy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin pan with liners. Spray liners with oil.
- In large glass bowl, combine sugar, butter, and water, and microwave until butter is melted (about 1 min).
- Stir in 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips until melted. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
- In separate bowl, mix flour and baking soda to combine. Add flour mixture to melted chocolate mixture, stirring until blended. Stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. Spoon batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into liners.
- Bake 13 minutes, or until top looks set, but toothpick inserted in center comes out somewhat wet (it will set up once cooled.) Place muffin pan on wire rack for 5-10 minutes, to allow centers to fall upon cooling. If centers don’t fall, tap centers gently to make a hole.
- While brownies are still hot, place peanut butter in microwave for 45 seconds and stir. Spoon about a tablespoon of peanut butter into each brownie center. Decorate with semi sweet chocolate chips. Allow to set a little and enjoy!
Notes
- Microwave and stir peanut butter before filling the brownie centers for easy incorporation.
- Bake until the top looks set but a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly wet to achieve a fudgy texture.
- Cooling the brownies in the pan for 5-10 minutes lets centers sink to form cavities for the filling.
- Lining the muffin pan and spraying liners helps easy removal of brownies after baking.
- Enjoy these brownies as a single-serve dessert or snack with their creamy peanut butter center.
