Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Peanut M&Ms
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Reserve a handful of Peanut M&Ms for topping and fold the rest into the brownie batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Scatter the reserved Peanut M&Ms on top for decoration.
Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 12 pieces and serve. Enjoy your rich and fudgy Peanut M&M Brownies!
