Brownies
Peanut Butter Swirl
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325F.
Add all brownie ingredients except for chocolate chips to a food processor. Process until a smooth batter forms. Add chocolate chips and pulse a few times to incorporate.
Line an 8x8 glass baking dish with parchment paper. Pour batter into baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Mix all peanut butter swirl ingredients in a bowl. Make sure to whisk well so it is smooth. Add dollops of peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie batter. Use a sharp knife to swirl into the batter.
Bake at 325F for 35-40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. I like to leave the center slightly undercooked so that the rest of it does not dry out.
Cut into 12 brownies and enjoy!
Recipe Note
*Light butter can be found where regular butter is. It has about ⅓ the fat and calories of regular butter. If you can’t find it, regular butter or coconut oil can be substituted.
**Erythritol is a sugar free sweetener. It can be found in the baking aisle. I use a brand called Swerve, which is sugar free and tastes/bakles just like sugar.
