Servings: 9 slices
Ingredients
For the brownies:
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, melted ¾ cup
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup Nestle Toll House Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter Flavored morsels
For the peanut butter swirl:
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
For the brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°, line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with nonstick and set aside. In a large bowl combine melted butter, oil, granulated and light brown sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add eggs and egg yolk and whisk for another minute.
- To that bowl add flour, cocoa and salt. Slowly mix to incorporate all of the ingredients. The batter will be really thick! Stir in peanut butter morsels.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top to make sure the batter is even.
For the peanut butter swirl:
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and butter. Melt for 30 seconds. Stir in the powdered sugar and whisk until there are no lumps.
- Scoop spoonfuls onto the top of the brownies and then swirl. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out with crumbs and not a wet batter, then the brownies are done!
- Remove from the oven and cool entirely on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve!
