Peanut Butter & Raspberry Brownies Recipe

Serves 12

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 45 minutes

Vegan–friendly recipe (use vegan chocolate; most types of peanut butter are vegan)

Ingredients

100g plain flour

460g light muscovado sugar

160g cocoa powder

1tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

120g smooth peanut butter

220ml water

220ml vegetable oil

3 tbsp vanilla extract

100g dark chocolate

100g raspberry/strawberry jam

50g raspberries

Baking tin 30cm x 20cm

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt to a bowl and combine. Add half the peanut butter, water, oil and vanilla extract and mix well. Break the chocolate into small chunks and stir in.
3. Empty the brownie mixture into the baking tray. Decorate the top with the raspberries, jam and the remaining peanut butter (melt it in the microwave to pour if necessary).
4. Bake for 45 minutes. The middle should still be slightly gooey.
5. Remove from the tin and leave to cool at room temperature. (Though they are heavenly when still warm!)
