Marbled Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe
This recipe won a Best of Juniors award in the Dutchess County Fair in 2001.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 scant teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup (generous) peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
For chocolate swirl: 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For topping: ½ cup peanut butter (creamy)
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with parchment or foil.
- Thoroughly stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter and both sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture, stir until fully incorporated, then spread in pan.
- Prepare chocolate swirl. Using microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate and butter. Drop by spoonfuls on top of peanut butter batter and drag a knife through the batter to marble.
- Bake on center rack for 30-35 minutes or until edges appear brown and center appears set. Avoid over-baking. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare topping. Stir together peanut butter, vanilla and melted butter. Spread this mixture over the warm (mid-way between piping hot and cool) brownies. Let cool completely.
- Prepare Chocolate Swirl. Put chocolate in a heavy duty freezer bag. Microwave the bag for 30 seconds. Knead it with your hands to melt chocolate. Repeat, microwaving another 30 seconds and kneading bag, until chocolate is completely melted. Make sure there are no lumps. Snip a tiny hole in bottom corner of bag and drizzle chocolate decoratively over peanut butter.
- Chill the brownies to set the peanut butter and chocolate.
- When cold and set, lift from pan and slice brownies in to squares or bars.
