Suppose: Reese’s cup association of chocolate > nuttiness (or on this case seed buttery-ness) > chocolate, however in a gooey fudgy brownie format. Plus beneficiant handfuls of chocolate chips and pinches of flakey salt to prime off every little layered sq., and a no forks required finger-licking consuming expertise. So lengthy story quick – it’s a decadent one as we speak, mates!
How To SunButter Stuff a Brownie
I’ve seen stuffed brownie recipes the place you unfold a layer of nut/seed butter, freeze it, then sandwich in the midst of brownie batter. However I didn’t simply desire a skinny runny layer, I wished a hunky thick SunButter heart whenever you slice in. So I took inspiration from cheesecake brownies and blended up a slightly-sweet, SunButter plus cream cheese combination for the filling as a substitute.
Vegan Gluten-Free Brownie Substances
- Unsweetened chocolate. Often known as baking chocolate, however 100% cacao is what’s vital right here. For those who can’t discover that, a bittersweet (70-90% will do) chocolate will probably be wonderful, however your brownies will simply be sweeter general.
- Almond milk. Or any non-dairy milk. We’ll soften this with the chocolate to create virtually a ganache sort base for our batter.
- Avocado oil. Or melted coconut oil is ok too.
- Coconut sugar. Brown sugar and even cane sugar will work, every will give a barely totally different taste profile.
- Flax eggs. Be happy to make use of 2 common eggs if not vegan.
- Gluten-free flour. Or all function 4 if not gluten-free. And sure, the combination I exploit does include xanthan gum in case you are questioning. Cassava flour would work too in case you are on the lookout for a grain-free possibility.
- Cocoa powder. As a result of one type of chocolate simply isn’t sufficient for these brownies.
- Vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips. I prefer to sprinkle some on prime earlier than baking, nevertheless it’s completely optionally available. They’re positively decadent with or with out!
The SunButter Filling Substances
This half is fairly easy, you simply want:
- SunButter. Any of their creamy varieties will work right here, I personally opted for the Natural jar. I really like the Natural selection as a result of it’s actually made with simply “natural roasted sunflower seed” which is superior for baking and recipes. Give the jar a superb stir earlier than you scoop it out so you’ve got a spoon-able however not oily consistency. And sure we’re utilizing a full cup, however belief me you’ll perceive why after the primary brownie chew. Keep in mind we would like that filling layer to be THICK.
- Cream cheese. Dairy-free cream cheese, or common if that’s your jam. Barely softened earlier than utilizing is good, it’ll make beating it altogether simpler and keep away from any cream cheese lumps.
- Sweetener. I used agave, maple syrup and even coconut sugar will work too.
Creating the Layers
First put together the brownie batter and the SunButter filling individually. Then grease an 8×8 inch (that is vital, don’t go greater) and line with parchment paper for simpler removing. Now unfold half, or perhaps a little beneath half even, of the brownie batter to only cowl your entire backside of the pan. It is going to be fairly skinny and a bit tough to get it to cowl. Subsequent dollop/dot with the SunButter combination, and press together with your palms to cowl as a lot brownie batter floor space as doable. And eventually prime with the remaining brownie batter to fully cowl all traces of the gooey scrumptious SunButter filling inside.
One other vital observe! Don’t be impatient on the subject of slicing, these brownies want to chill a minimum of an hour earlier than slicing in any other case they are going to be too gooey and messy.
