HOW TO PUT PEANUT BUTTER IN BROWNIES?
Brownies are always a crowd favorite, and this recipe is sure to be a hit. This chocolate peanut butter brownie recipe is quick and simple to make, and it only requires a few ingredients. Peanut butter is not only a delicious ingredient to add flavor to these brownies, but I also used it to replace the eggs in this recipe. In this case, 3 tbsp. would be the equivalent of 1 egg approx. However, if you want to have a stronger flavor of peanut butter, you can add more and reduce the amount of plant-based milk.
Nut allergies or intolerance? What can replace eggs in brownies? Other vegan ingredients can be used to replace eggs when baking; for example apple sauce (4 tbsp), mashed banana (half), and vegan yogurt (4 tbsp).
BROWNIE WITH PEANUT BUTTER TOPPING
Peanut butter and chocolate are classic flavor combinations that can be enjoyed in many different ways. One of my personal favorite ways to enjoy this flavor combination is by making brownies with peanut butter on top. For this recipe, I used smooth peanut butter, but you can also try crunchy peanut butter too!
Although I used peanut butter for these delicious brownies, you can also try other nut butter or creams, such as:
- Almond.
- Cashew.
- Hazelnut.
- Pecan.
Furthermore, you can always add more toppings to this indulgent recipe; such as dried fruit. A classic ingredient or topping at the same time is walnuts, but you can use the ones that you prefer. Moreover, you can try this recipe together with vegan vanilla ice cream.
TOP TIPS:
- Cooking: Place the baking tray in the center/middle of the oven, in order to achieve more evenly cooked brownies. Cooking times: can vary depending on the oven you use. To get soft and moist brownies try to avoid high temperatures or cook for longer than necessary. It’s better to cook for 20 minutes or less and then check if they are cooked to your taste. If they are undercooked place them again in the oven and cook for a few more minutes.
- Cutting your brownies: let them cold down first for a few minutes before cutting your brownies as they tend to be moist and they will stick to the knife. If it’s possible try to use a sharp knife. Also, to remove the peanut butter brownies from the baking tray use a cooking turner spatula.
