Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 30 minutes
• Total Time: 45 minutes
• Servings: 12 brownies
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup of cocoa powder
• ½ cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• ¼ teaspoon of baking powder
• ½ cup of creamy peanut butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Sift in the cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, until it’s easily pourable.
7. Drop dollops of the warm peanut butter over the brownie batter, then use a knife or toothpick to create swirls by dragging it through the peanut butter and brownie batter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Helpful Tips

• For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
• If you prefer a more pronounced peanut butter flavor, you can increase the peanut butter to ¾ cup.
• Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts to the brownie batter for extra texture.

Storage Instructions

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.

Pairings

These brownies pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra special treat, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the brownies just before serving.
