Peanut Butter and Jelly Brownies
Peanut butter and jelly get cozy on top of decadent chocolate brownies for a trio of flavors you never imagined together.
Equipment
- 8x8 baking pan
Ingredients
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter (one stick)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup jelly (your preference but make sure the flavor goes with chocolate — I used strawberry)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Use clothespins to keep the parchment paper in place if needed.
- Warm the ¼ cup peanut butter and butter in a microwave safe vessel for 30 seconds.
- Mix the white and brown sugars in a stand mixer bowl. Add in the melted butter/peanut butter combo. Mix on low speed to combine.
- Add in the egg and vanilla, mix for another 30 seconds until combined.
- In the mixing bowl, add in the baking powder, salt, flour, and cocoa powder. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour the brownie mix into the prepared pan and use a spatula to even out the mix and spread it into all corners of the pan.
- Warm up the ⅓ cup of peanut butter and the ⅓ cup of jelly in separate containers, for 15-20 seconds. It should be viscous, but not totally liquidy.
- Use a spoon to randomly drop blobs of jelly and peanut butter across the top of the brownie mixture. Then use a butter knife to lightly swirl everything together artistically, but don't overdo it.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, and use a clean knife to slice.
