PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE RECIPE
Brownies. Nutella Brownies. Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe with Nutella. Basically, brownies with the lot - super rich and fudgy Nutella brownies stuffed with chocolate and peanut butter chips, topped with a peanut butter and Nutella swirl.
Have you ever asked yourself...what recipe can I make with Nutella and peanut butter? Well, I have the answer and it tastes amazing! Spoiler alert - it's my easy peanut butter brownie recipe!
These are everything a good brownie recipe should be, dense and chewy - moist and cakey on the inside with a lovely crackly top. Add to that the flavour of peanut butter and you have a match made in brownie heaven. I am just so in love with that sweet/salty flavour combination.
Plus you all know I love an easy recipe, and this recipe for Nutella brownies with peanut butter is one of those.
Dangerously easy!
HOW TO MAKE MY EASY PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE RECIPE
You can follow along with my step by step pictures below!
Using a handheld mixer, cream together room temperature butter and sugar until fluffy and combined. Then add the eggs and vanilla, mixing to combine (see photos below).
Add the Nutella to the butter/sugar mixture and mix to combine using the handheld mixer. Then add flour to the mixture and mix by hand until just combined (see photos below).
Once the flour is combined, add chocolate and peanut butter chips, again mixing by hand to combine (see photos below).
Pour mixture into prepared tin, and place spoonfuls of combined peanut butter and extra Nutella evenly over the top of the mixture. Then swirl these dollops into the mixture using a knife - now you are ready to bake!

Including Nutella in this peanut butter brownie recipe takes me back to my teenage years having sleepovers with my bestie (who is still my bestie BTW) and eating Nutella! So Good! It's a shame we didn't know how good it would be with peanut butter back then - you live and learn. My palette must be getting more mature!
This brownie recipe is going to be popular, maybe buy extra big jars of peanut butter and Nutella for your next sleepover...
