Why am I posting peanut butter swirl brownies in the middle of the week? Because next month is Peanut Month, and even better, March 1 is Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! I’ve got you prepared, no worries. You probably don’t know this since I barely post peanut butter recipes on the blog, but I’m big on peanut butter. Actually, all nuts, especially almonds and cashews, but peanut butter gets its fair share in my diet. Especially in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which are like my favourite, to-go sandwiches. Sorry everyone, I know us food bloggers seem like we always eat extravagantly, which I will agree that for the most part, I’ve been doing pretty well, but sometimes I just want cereal, or PB & J.
Now, these brownies. Peanut butter takes brownies to a whole new level of creaminess and flavour by definitely amping it up. I swirled the peanut butter throughout the entire batter so that you got it not only on the top but throughout your brownie, and trust me, it’s good. It adds a different kind of richness than chocolate while complementing the chocolate, almost toning it down a notch to introduce these new delicious flavour. I love how peanut butter isn’t a neutral flavour, but isn’t particularly sweet or salty, it’s just, well perfect. Try it; add peanut butter to your oatmeal, your smoothie, anything, and you’ll see how much more creamy it becomes will balancing out the other flavours. How do you plan to celebrate Peanut Butter Lover’s Day? I think I will be whipping up another batch of these.
