Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semisweet chocolate
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate together, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Dollop the peanut butter over the batter, spreading it gently to create a semi-even layer. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter layer and spread it to cover.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for a fudgy texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
