PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies image

I loved peanut butter brownies as a kid but my adult taste buds now find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about 1/3 from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of three alternate variations that I attempted.

PECAN PIE BROWNIES



Pecan Pie Brownies image

A fudgy and decadent chocolate brownie topped with a sweet and crunchy layer of pecan pie is a match made in heaven. To ensure the layers stay distinct when these two classic desserts come together, the brownie is baked first then the nut filling is layered over it and baked again. In the oven, the syrup seeps into the brownies, keeping them moist and rich. Try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Time 4h30m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso, optional
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional
3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the brownie layer: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, baking powder and espresso powder, if using. Beat on medium-low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until mostly dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the melted butter mixture to the bowl and mix on medium-low speed until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and carefully add the flour and chocolate chips, mixing until the flour is fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the brownie layer is cooked through, 32 to 34 minutes.
  • For the pecan layer: While the brownie layer is baking, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, eggs and bourbon, if using, in a medium bowl until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add the pecans and stir until the nuts are completely coated.
  • Gently pour the pecan mixture over the baked brownie, using a spoon or small offset spatula to carefully spread all the way to the edges. Bake until the pecan pie layer is golden, set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, about 3 hours, before slicing into 9 squares.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit and line a 13x9 baking pan with foil, spray the foil with cooking spray.

  • Add the eggs, blend well.
  • Stir in flour, blend well.
  • Spread half of the mixture in the baking pan and bake for 25 minutes or until the brownies are firm.
  • Don't turn the oven off yet!
  • While they are baking, get out another microwave-safe bowl; throw in the caramels and pour in the cream.
  • Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, the caramels should be partially melted.
  • Stir to help them melt completely.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the pecans and carefully spread the mixture over the baked brownies.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the chocolate chunks over the caramel and pour the remaining brownie batter on top, evening it out if needed.
  • It's ok if some of the caramel is showing.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chunks on top and then the rest of the pecans.
  • Bake for another 30 minutes or until the brownies are firm.
  • Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack and then lift them out with the foil and set them on a cutting board to cut them up.
  • These would make a decadent gift for someone who loves the flavor combination!
  • You could wrap them up in colored plastic wrap and stick a bow on the top or place them in a holiday-decorated plastic container-- you could make someone's day!
  • Or, depending on your mood, you could hide them and eat them all yourself!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the brownies. Use a good-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and will prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
