Ah brownies. Easy to make and crazy good. And lately I have been fiddling with my recipes to come up with some variations. Last fall, we did Lemon Spice Brownies<\/a> and Macadamia Lime Bars<\/a> – both out of this world and still enjoyed often around here.\u00a0\u00a0 Last summer, my desperation drove me to Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Today though, we are bringing out the peanut butter.<\/p>\n

This is just my usual brownie recipe<\/a>, but with a few additions.\u00a0 I used to make brownies in a 3 quart sauce pan, but I’ve gotten lazier as time goes by, and now I melt my butter in the microwave, and make them in a bowl.\u00a0 A bowl can go in the dishwasher, but a copper bottom sauce pan has to be washed by hand – and the bottom has to be shined, since mine hang out where they can be seen all the time.\u00a0 So, a bowl and the microwave it is.\u00a0
\nMelt 2 sticks of butter\"11\"Stir in
\n1\/2 cup baking cocoa
\n2 cups granulated sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla\"21\"The batter will have a rough appearance.
\n\"31\"Mix in 4 eggs, one at a time. Now the mixture will have a smooth texture and a nice sheen.\"41\"Then add
\n1 cup all purpose flour
\n1 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt\"51\"Spread about half of the batter in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish or pan
\nTo remaining batter, add
\n1\/4 cup all purpose flour
\n1\/3 cup natural peanut butter
\n1\/3 teaspoon baking powder\"6\"
\nMix just until combined and spread over bottom layer\"8\"Bake at 350\u00ba for about 35 to 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center will have a few crumbs sticking to it when they are done. Cool completely on a rack before cutting. \"9\"Cut into squares and store in an airtight container. If there are any left that is.\"10\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
