To create this delicious brownie recipe, I looked to my favourite recipes and chose Chef Michael Smith’s brownies, and added a couple ingredients from Ina Garten’s version of it. I love her choice of adding coffee granules, which helps cut some of the sweetness. These brownies are a great dessert to bring to any party.

Ingredients
- 4 oz semi sweet chocolate
- 4 oz dark chocolate
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
For the peanut butter swirl
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 9x13 inch pan. Grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
- To melt the chocolate and butter, prepare a pot over medium low heat filled with 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heat proof bowl on top. Add the chocolate and butter and using a wooden spoon stir the chocolate and butter until it is melted and combined. Let the mixture cool momentarily.
- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and coffee granules to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix to combine.
- For the swirl, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. To form the swirl, spoon globs of the peanut butter mixture into several areas of the brownie mix. Using a knife, mix the peanut butter into the brownie mix, forming a swirl design.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and slice into squares. Serve and enjoy!
