Double-Decker Peanut Butter Brownies image

These decadent, two-layer flourless brownies are easily customizable. You can use either almond butter or peanut butter in the bottom layer, and if you want to make them dairy-free, you can use coconut oil in place of butter. Top with chocolate chips, chopped pretzels, or any other crunchy snacks you have in the pantry.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Nut Butter Layer
2 large eggs
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup natural unsweetened creamy peanut butter or almond butter
For the Cocoa Layer
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter or virgin coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped or whole nuts, coconut flakes, crushed pretzels, or potato chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the Nut Butter Layer
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8" baking dish with 2 overlapping pieces of parchment paper, leaving at least a 2" overhang on 2 sides.
  • Whisk eggs, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in peanut butter until a smooth, thick batter forms. Scrape into prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
  • Make the Cocoa Layer and Assemble
  • Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixture is light, smooth, and doubled in volume, 3-4 minutes. With mixer running on low speed, slowly beat in butter, then add vanilla and salt and beat to combine. Add cocoa powder and cornstarch. Beat on low speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is thick and holds its shape, about 30 seconds. Pour over nut butter layer and smooth top.
  • Add your choice of toppings or leave top smooth-they're all good options.
  • Bake brownie until top is puffed, glossy, and starting to crack, and the center is just set (it shouldn't jiggle when shaken, but the chocolate layer will still be very gooey), 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Remove brownie from pan using parchment overhang, then cut into 16 squares.

BROILED PEANUT BUTTER DOUBLE-DECKER DELIGHT



Broiled Peanut Butter Double-Decker Delight image

This recipe is a variation on a sandwich that my Dad used to make for me and my sisters when we were kids. My daughter Sheriden and I added the third piece of bread to make it a club sandwich, and then we toasted that third (middle) slice so that it would be crispy like the 2 outside pieces.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 slices bread (white or cinnamon swirl)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (recommended: Jif)
1/2 banana, sliced into 4 slices
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon semisweet mini chocolate morsels
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven or toaster oven to broil or highest setting.
  • Toast 1 slice of bread in toaster until golden brown. Spread half of the peanut butter on 1 of the untoasted slices of bread. Place the banana slices on top of the peanut butter. Drizzle the honey evenly over the bananas. Place the toasted slice of bread on top. Spread the other half of the peanut butter on top of the toasted slice. Sprinkle the chocolate morsels evenly over the peanut butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the chocolate chips. Top with the remaining untoasted slice of bread. Place the sandwich on a cookie sheet. Place under the broiler (or in the toaster oven) and toast until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich over with a spatula and toast the other side until golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately spread the butter evenly over the top of the sandwich. Cut in half and serve immediately with a cold glass of milk.

Tips:

  • To ensure the brownies have a rich and fudgy texture, use high-quality chocolate. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is recommended.
  • Do not overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense texture.
  • For a gooey center, remove the brownies from the oven a few minutes before the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • To achieve a smooth and creamy peanut butter frosting, use softened butter and cream cheese. Beat them together until light and fluffy before adding the peanut butter.
  • For a neater appearance, use a piping bag or a spoon to spread the frosting onto the brownies.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.

Conclusion:

These double-decker peanut butter brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with chocolate and peanut butter lovers alike. With their rich and fudgy chocolate brownie base, creamy peanut butter frosting, and crunchy peanut butter cups, these brownies are a true indulgence.
