Gooey Peanut Butter Filled Brownie Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED BROWNIES

Steps:

• Place the peanut butter in a heat safe bowl and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, or until pourable but not super hot.
• Line a metal 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Spread the peanut butter into an even layer in the pan. Freeze for 1 hour or until solidified. Use the parchment to remove from pan and return peanut butter sheet to freezer. Keep frozen while making the brownie batter.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the square pan again with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl combine the butter and chocolate. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Add the sugar to the hot butter mixture and whisk vigorously until combined. Allow to cool until just barely warm.
• Add in eggs, yolk, and vanilla extract and whisk for about 1 minute, or until very well combined.
• Use a rubber spatula to stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
• Pour half of the batter into prepared pan and smooth out. Carefully place the frozen peanut butter sheet over the batter. Pour remaining batter on top, covering completely.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through but still very slightly gooey in the center. Let cool in pan 30 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool for another 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serving chilled makes the brownies extra fudgy!

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, beat 2 cups sugar and 3 eggs together until foamy. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; stir into the egg mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Reserve one cup of the batter, and spread the rest into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, 1/4 cup of sugar 1 egg and milk until smooth and creamy. Carefully spread the peanut butter batter over the layer of chocolate batter. Drop reserved chocolate batter, by tablespoonfuls onto the peanut butter layer. Cut through the batter with a knife to swirl.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until brownies are set when shaken gently. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Refrigerate until serving.

GOOEY PEANUT BUTTER FILLED BROWNIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. For the Cake: In a large bowl add 1 box family size brownie mix, 1 egg and 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted.
• 2. Mix by hand until a soft dough forms. I use a rubber spatula and fold the ingredients into each other until I get my dough. Doesn't take but a few minutes.
• 3. Once you have your dough, put it into an ungreased 9x13 baking dish and press it out over the bottom and about 1/2 way up the sides. You don't have to go up the sides if you don't want. I like the brownie. Once you have your dough in the dish the way you want it, set it aside and make your filling
• 4. To make the filling: I use the same bowl I made the crust in. When the crust comes together, it leaves a pretty clean bowl. Add 2 large eggs, cream cheese, powdered sugar and, using a hand mixer, beat until well combined.
• 5. Add 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) and beat together until combined. Taste mixture at this point to see if you like it. Add more peanut butter if you desire. If you think the peanut butter taste is to strong, add 1tsp vanilla extract to tone it down. Filling will be thick
• 6. Scrape filling into brownie shell and evenly distribute. Bake @ 350F for 30-35 minutes. In my convection oven, 35 minutes is perfect. The filling should jiggle when you shake the dish.
• 7. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cool, put in refrigerator for about 4 hours, best if left overnight. If you can't wait, dig in. We do and it still tastes good. This is awesome, and very rich, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• 8. The texture of the filling is that of a gooey, dense peanut butter brownie. If you overcook it, it will get dry
• 9. OPTION: If you want a more cheesecake-like filling, add 3 large eggs to the filling instead of 2 or sub out the additional egg for 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Both make a really nice dessert. If you do one of these options, it's important to let brownie set overnight and to bake for the entire 35 minutes. Side note - the smell of this baking is heavenly and it lingers :o)
