Photo: Peanut Butter-Hazelnut Brownies Recipe
These brownies are chewy, soft and fudgy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (non-alkalized)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Dash salt
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup hazelnut-chocolate spread
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.
Melt the butter over low heat; when melted remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, and mix well.
Mix the peanut butter and chocolate spread in a small microwave-proof bowl, and heat in the microwave until it reaches a runny consistency. Stir the mixture into the batter; then pour it into the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.

These are very moist and chewy. I wish there were more of a peanut butter flavor to them but they are still really, really good. Topped them with a chocolate hazelnut frosting.

I made these yesterday as a last minute dessert for a gathering we were hosting. They were easy to prepare with ingredients I had on hand. The result was delicious. My family likes fudgier brownies and these were very fudgy and dense. They had a nice crumb to them. The peanut butter-hazelnut mixture added a slight peanut taste though I had a hard time detecting the hazelnut taste others who ate them said they could taste the hazelnuts as well. They did need an additional 10 minutes in my oven to fully bake. This is a recipe that I will be making again. Next time I might add some chocolate chips or some chopped nuts for added texture. Overall, a great recipe!

I made these tonight after considerable reading and researching peanut butter brownie recipes. The first one I made was Martha Stewar'ts peanut butter swirl brownies. They were more cake like and high, as well as more dry. Even though these were the second choice of the two, I think I much preferred these! I did make this change which the Martha Stewart recipe had. I did NOT mix the peanut butter hazelnut mixture into the chocolate brownie but rather I placed it on the top and than took a knife and dragged it through in a swirl pattern. I also added extra cocoa powder to make 1 cup as reviewers stated, and I used three eggs rather than 4. Always check brownies and under bake so that they remain moist rather than died out. I kept checking increasing to 4-5 mins and adding if needed towards the end. I think these are much tastier than Martha Stewart's and a lot easier to prepare!
