How to Make Peanut Butter Brownies With Diabetic Instructions Also Included

I love chocolate and peanut butter together. Based on the sales of Peanut Butter Cups candy, I would say that a lot of you do, too! Chocolate and PB just seem to go together and this recipe for Peanut Butter Brownies is a good way to combine the two. This recipe makes a 9-inch square pan of brownies; you chocoholics may need to double the recipe! And for those diabetics in the group, do not fear. It is quite easy to change the recipe to make it diabetic friendly. The instructions are at the end of the recipe. Diabetics should remember to keep their portions small as this is key in anything we eat. You know a pan of brownies is NOT a serving! And that goes for anyone, not just diabetics.

HOOSIER PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 pkg (6-oz) chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, optional

Easy Peanut

In a medium mixing bowl beat the p butter and butter until blended. Gradually add the sugar and brown sugar beating until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and the vanilla, mixing in well. Mix in the peanuts, if desired or sprinkle on the top of the batter. Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before cutting.

Diabetic instructions: Substitute 1 cup of Splenda for the sugar, 2 tablespoons Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the brown sugar and sugar-free chocolate chips for the regular chocolate chips.
