I made these brownies for my colleagues, and I got so many compliments. Some of them even said they were the best brownies they’d ever had.

I am gluten free and have never been able to make brownies that have the correct texture, until now! These are the best GF brownies I have ever had!

In reply to Leslie. Hi Leslie! I haven't personally tried adding a peanut butter swirl to the sourdough brownies, but it sounds delicious. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. :)

I am shocked that I do not like these Peanut Butter Brownies! I liked the look of the swirled top. I did not like having the middle layer of peanut butter. I want to taste more chocolate brownie taste. (I even used my coveted Ghirardelli Semi sweet bar.)
I think I’ll try another brownie recipe (Sourdough Brownies?) and try a little peanut butter swirl on top. Will it work?

In reply to Barb. Hi Barb! You would only need to increase it by 50% to fill the 9 x 13. :)

This recipe was delicious! We really enjoyed them. I used Skippy Natural Peanut Butter and was impressed with how much the peanut butter was showcased.

In reply to Joann. These brownies are fudgy and delicious and appropriately dense for a brownie. However, if you don't like that texture, you could add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda or 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder if you desire, but your tops won't be as crackly and the brownies themselves would be more crumbly. Hope that helps!

Can this be doubled for a 9×13 pan?

These look delicious, but very dense. I don’t see any leavening in it. Could baking powder / baking soda be added to lighten the brownie?

So delicious!! I made these for my adult son’s birthday and the whole family loved them. For me personally they were a perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. I used some peanut butter baking chips in the peanut butter batter in place of Reese’s pieces. Definitely a keeper recipe!! 5 stars

In reply to Jodi. We suppose you could, but we can't guarantee how it will turn out or if any changes would need to be made.

My family & I couldn’t stop eating these peanut butter brownies! While it takes slightly more time to make the two different batters, all the steps are easy to follow and it’s worth the delicious & fancier looking dessert.

If you want these brownies to look amazing in addition to tasting amazing, I’ve found that holding the knife at a more horizontal angle when swirling to kind of pull the batters to be on top of each other in addition to next to each other makes the top of them look neater while still mixing the elements together enough. The first time I made these, I swirled them a bit too much & they looked mostly brown on top, but when I used this method the second time it helped make the two batters stand out on top while being mixed together enough underneath.

These are amazing! The last time I made them I was out of peanut butter so I substituted Nutella and they were still amazing!

These were delicious! The only change I would make for my personal preference is to add an egg yolk to the peanut butter base so that it’s more moist and chewy. The brownie part was moist and chewy which I love. Thank you Sam for this great recipe!
