Peanut Brownies

Is there a better way to start February than with fudgy gooey peanut brownies?! Trust me, the melting flavours of bittersweet chocolate and salty peanuts is a match made in heaven. Typing these words I'm thrilled and still struck with disbelief all at once. I've had peanut allergies for more than a decade, and only two years ago my doctor confirmed that they're gone. Maybe even for good. 

As you can imagine, having suffered from this nut allergy made me really precocious. People don't always take you seriously when you tell them you can't eat a certain group of foods. But there it was: the day I left the doctor's and could have run to the supermarket to enjoy my first pack of m&ms or a snickers. But that didn't quite happen. At first I didn't dare to include peanuts into my diet. Over the months I've tried a bite here and there, but mid last year, I had a stack of pancakes with peanut butter and berries. And it was sooooo delicious. 

So... here we are. Inmidst of a pandemic celebrating the disparition of most of food allergies. 

For 12 brownies you need:

250g butter

200g flour

280g good quality chocolate

4 eggs

250g sugar

65g cacao powder

200g salted peanuts

*****

Preheat the oven to 150°

Melt the butter and chocolate over a double boiler. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar up for 5 minutes until well combined. Pour in the melted chocolate-butter mixture and mix again. Add the flour and cacao, then finally the peanuts. 

Pour the batter into a buttered brownie tin and bake for 30-35 minutes. 

Enjoy!!!!
