    1 Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a 20cm-square cake tin with a sheet of baking paper, leaving a 3cm overhang on all sides.

    2 Melt dark chocolate and spread in a small saucepan set over a low heat. Whisk sugar into chocolate mixture then leave to cool for 10 minutes. Whisk vanilla, eggs, flour and cocoa into mixture to make batter.

    3 Pour batter into prepared tin. Place small dollops of peanut butter in batter. Use a skewer to swirl peanut butter into batter.

    4 Bake for 15 minutes or until skewer inserted into the brownie centre comes out clean. Leave to cool completely in tin.

    5 Cut brownie in 9 squares. Halve each square diagonally to make 18 triangular brownies.

    Variations

    Make it low FODMAP and/or gluten free: Check the dark chocolate for high-FODMAP ingredients such as inulin, chicory root fibre, honey. Use gluten-free flour and cocoa. Check gluten-free flour doesn’t contain soy, garbanzo bean, amaranth or lupin flours.
