Ingredients
Method
- Gather all ingredients. Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350F. Melt 2 tablespoons peanut butter and 1 teaspoon salted butter together in microwave for 30 seconds, then add 1 teaspoon stevia/erythritol blend and combine. Set aside.
- In a bowl or food processor, combine 3/4 cup stevia/erythritol blend, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/3 cup almond flour, and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Melt 1/2 cup salted butter in microwave, then add to flour mixture and combine. Add 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons half-and-half. Combine everything well. Pour into prepared pan.
- Put dollops of peanut butter mix on top of the brownie mix. Take a knife and swirl the peanut butter through the chocolate. Sprinkle the top lightly with salt. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving, for best flavor.
Notes
- Don't overmix the brownie batter once the wet ingredients are added; this can make the brownies tough. Mix just until combined.
- For a perfect swirl, use a knife or a skewer to gently cut through the dollops of peanut butter. Don't overdo it, or the colors will fully combine.
- To ensure proper doneness without overbaking, a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion (away from the peanut butter swirl) should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Overbaking leads to dry brownies.
- Store leftover peanut butter brownie at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
