Equipment

  • 20cm (8inch) x 25cm (10inch) baking tin.
  • Baking Parchment

Ingredients

  • 200 g Butter plus extra for greasing
  • 200 g Dark chocolate
  • 200 g Soft Brown Sugar
  • 4 medium Eggs
  • 200 g Crunchy or smooth peanut Butter
  • 130 g White Spelt Flour or Plain White Flour
  • 30 g Instant Strong Coffee Powder such as Instant Espresso Powder

Instructions

  • To make these Peanut Butter Brownie Bites from scratch, first grease and line a 20cm (8inch) x 25cm (10inch) baking tin, with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 180°C, (160°C for fan assisted ovens) 
  • Melt the butter and chocolate over low heat in a medium pan.
    200 g Butter plus extra for greasing, 200 g Dark chocolate
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the sugar, and eggs until well combined.
    200 g Soft Brown Sugar, 4 medium Eggs
  • Add half (100g) of the Peanut Butter along with the melted butter and chocolate. Mix until well combined.
    200 g Crunchy or smooth peanut Butter
  • Sieve the flour and instant coffee powder together, then add to the chocolate mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
    130 g White Spelt Flour, 30 g Instant Strong Coffee Powder
  • Pour all the brownie mixture into the prepared tin and spread out to the edges with a spoon. Add dollops of the remaining (100g) Peanut Butter over the Brownie Mixture using a teaspoon. Create a marble effect using a cake skewer.
  • Bake for 25 - 30 mins or until baked. The top should be soft and squidgy. Let the brownies cool completely in the tin, before cutting into squares.
  • Store in an airtight container. They keep well and taste even better after a day or so.

Notes

Baker's Tips
Tip 1 - Adjust the coffee flavour by reducing the strength or amount of coffee used.
Tip 2 - If you love Peanuts, drizzle the top with smooth peanut butter and a scattering of Peanuts after baking.
Why Are My Brownies Dry?
Overbaking brownies can make them very dry, try underbaking them by a minute or two.
