Fudgy Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting

Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil can substitute with canola or coconut oil
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 recipe Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and parchment line an 8-inch square baking dish, set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together butter, avocado oil, and sugar. Whisk well for 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisk for an additional 2 minutes, until light in color.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the egg butter mixture, until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread out evenly. Sprinkle the top with the chopped walnuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just set. (Brownies will be soft and chocolaty with a crackled top.) Allow the brownies to cool before frosting.
- Make frosting according to recipe instructions. Pour all of the frosting over the cooled brownies. Using a spatula, evenly spread out the frosting over the brownies. Swirl frosting with the back of a spoon for a decorative effect. Allow brownies to chill before slicing into squares.
- Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
