Here is a recipe for delectable peanut butter brownies. You make them from scratch without spending a lot of time.





For the peanut butter layer, you need:





Cream cheese, at room temperature 1 oz.


Smooth peanut butter 3 Tbsp


Egg yolk, room T. 1 large


Sugar 1 Tbsp


All purpose flour 1 Tbsp





For the brownie layer, you need:





Unsalted butter 5 Tbsp


Semisweet or bittersweet chocolate 5 oz.


Eggs, room T. 2 large


Sugar 陆 cup


All purpose flour 陆 cup


Vanilla extract 1 tsp


Baking powder 陆 tsp


Salt 录 tsp


Coarsely chopped peanuts 1 cup





Just follow these easy directions:





Cream peanut butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth.





Add egg yolk, sugar, and flour, one at a time. Mix well after each addition.





Using a double boiler, melt butter and chocolate over low heat. Remove from heat and continue stirring until smooth. Then set aside to cool.





Cream eggs and sugar until the mixture turns lemon-colored and thick. Add the cooled butter-chocolate mixture and combine well.





Add flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined





Pour half of the chocolate mixture in the prepared baking pan, then place dollops of peanut butter mixture over it. Don鈥檛 worry about covering the chocolate layer because it won鈥檛. Add the remaining chocolate mixture.





Make a rough checkerboard pattern by gently drawing a table knife from right to left and from top to bottom. Finally, sprinkle with chopped peanuts.





Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes. If you wait for the cake tester to come out clean, you will be overbaking your peanut butter brownies.





Allow the whole brownie to cool in its baking pan before removing it by simply lifting the aluminum foil. Cut peanut butter brownies into squares of any desirable sizes and enjoy.

Chocolate hazelnt brownies


Prep Time Cook Time Serves


20 mins 45 mins 16 squares


Ingredients


鈥?Butter, melted for greasing


鈥?125g hazelnuts


鈥?180g butter


鈥?250g dark cooking chocolate


鈥?3 eggs


鈥?1 1/2 cups sugar


鈥?2 tsp vanilla extract


鈥?1 cup plain flour


鈥?1/2 cup cocoa powder


鈥?Extra sifted cocoa for dusting


Here's how


1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line base and sides of a deep 20cm-square cake tin with baking paper. Brush with melted butter. To remove skins from nuts, put nuts on an oven tray and put in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and put on a clean tea towel. Fold tea towel over to cover nuts and rub with your hands. Skins should peel off. Then chop nuts roughly.


2. Chop butter and put in a medium heavy-based pan. Roughly chop chocolate and add to the pan. Stir butter and chocolate mixture constantly over a low heat until both have melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove pan from heat and leave to cool.


3. Put eggs, sugar and vanilla into the small bowl of an electric mixer, and beat until mixture is thick and pale. Sift flour and cocoa onto a sheet of baking paper. Add sifted flour and cocoa, hazelnuts and cooled chocolate mixture to egg mixture. Use a large metal spoon to fold in.


4. Gently spoon mixture into prepared tin. Spread mixture to edges of tin. Gently shake to settle mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove tin from oven and stand it on a wire rack to cool. When cold, remove brownies from tin and cut into squares. Dust with cocoa just before serving.


Tips


You can use any type of nuts you like in brownies. But for the best flavour, roast them until golden brown before using.


You'll find dark cooking chocolate at all supermarkets, and it doesn't matter which brand you choose.


Use 59g eggs in this brownie recipe.


Ordinary cocoa from the supermarket works perfectly well in this recipe. But you can also use rich dark cocoa. It will give a darker colour brownie with a slightly richer flavour. You can find this dark cocoa in some supermarkets and specialty food stores or delis.


Vanilla extract has a syrup-like consistency and a stronger flavour than vanilla essence. But, if you do use vanilla essence, increase the amount to 1 tablespoon for a better taste.


Brownies are best made the day before eating
