Peanut Butter Brownie Pie
Peanut Butter Brownie Pie is one of our favorite winter desserts. I start this dessert by mixing up a rich and fudgy brownie batter. Then, I swirl in some luscious creamy peanut butter. We like this dessert for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this dessert in less than an hour. Secondly, I like that this whole recipe gets stirred up in one pot. And, lastly, we all love the delicious combination of chocolate and peanut butter. This is one of my very favorite desserts.
The Equipment I Used
- A Pie Plate- I recommend using a nonstick metal pie plate. I just bought one at Williams Sonoma and I highly endorse all their bake ware.
- A Three Quart Saucepan- I used this to melt my chocolate and butter together and to mix up the batter. I love having only one bowl to wash after baking.
- A Food Scale- For perfect baking results, weigh your flour and sugar.
The Ingredients Needed for Peanut Butter Brownie Pie
- Chocolate- Use bittersweet chocolate. You could also use unsweetened chocolate for a slightly less sweet taste.
- Butter- Be sure to use unsalted butter.
- Sugar- Use granulated sugar.
- Eggs- Use large eggs and let them come to room temperature. Otherwise, you will have grainy brownies.
- Flour- Use all purpose flour.
- Peanut Butter- I recommend creamy peanut butter, but you could also use crunchy. It’s easier to swirl if it’s very soft. You can use regular peanut butter or all natural peanut butter.
How I Made my Brownies
- First, I let my eggs come to room temperature.
- Then, I carefully measured all my ingredients.
- Next, I stirred up the batter. Once the flour is added, be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Then, I sprayed the pan with lots of nonstick spray.
- Finally, I baked the brownies. Bake them just until a toothpick comes out just a little wet.
If you like chocolate, you need to try this fudgy and delicious Peanut Butter Brownie Pie.
