Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the roasted peanuts, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved roasted peanuts on top if you saved any.
If you'd like to add a peanut butter drizzle, heat the peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften, then drizzle it over the batter using a spoon or piping bag.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your crunchy, decadent roasted peanut brownies!
