The lovely Catherine from Boutique Bake has been sharing her delicious baking recipes with us in her Sweet Saturday series (you can check out more Boutique Bake recipes here).

We’re edging into autumn and this is the perfect recipe for a weekend treat.

This recipe combines two of my absolute favourite flavours to bake with, peanut butter and chocolate!

The lovely swirls are achieved by layering peanut butter in-between the brownie layers, then using a knife to pull the mixtures together. It’s very simple, but looks and tastes really great.

So let’s get started on these peanut butter swirl brownies, here’s everything you need to get baking:

8. Keep working the knife through the mixture until you have a lovely swirly pattern!

9. Bake for 20 - 25 mins depending on how gooey you like your brownies!
Boutique Bake's Top Tip: If you want your brownies nice and gooey, make sure to take your brownies out of the oven when there is still a bit of a wobble in the centre and the edge parts are just beginning to cook!
