Peanut Butter-Nutella Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup cocoa
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup nutella
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 4.5 oz (1 cup) all-purpose flour I always weigh my flour when baking
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine all-purpose flour, cocoa (sift this in to get rid of lumps), baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Over low heat, melt butter and stir in sugar and vanilla extract until well combined
- To the butter-sugar mixture add eggs, one at a time. With a wooden spoon vigorously mix in each egg until well-combined.
- To the butter-egg mixture whisk in the cocoa mixture until fully combined.
- In a microwave safe bowl add Nutella and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 20 second intervals until it reaches a runny consistency. Stir this mixture into the batter.
- Pour the batter into a glass 9 x 13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I used Baker's Joy.)
- Bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting
Notes
I also made a simple icing of milk and confectioner’s sugar, drizzling it over the brownies, sprinkling them with mini chocolate chips.
