Instructions

Melt the peanut butter in a large pan over a low heat.
225 g peanut butter
Add the roasted peanut oil along with the sugar and stir.
1 slug roasted peanut oil, 300 g dark muscovado sugar
Add the chocolate and leave to melt.
150 g dark chocolate
Stir it all together until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one by one.
3 large eggs
Stir in the wholemeal flour.
100 g wholemeal flour (whole wheat)
Poured into a 9" sq silicon cake mould or lined tin and level the mixture out.
Melt the remaining tbsp of peanut butter in a clean pan with a small glug of roasted peanut oil.
Drizzle this over the top of the brownie mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4) for 20 to 25 minutes or until it's well risen with a crackly top. But it should still have a slight wobble to it when you shake it.
Melt the milk chocolate in a bowl suspended over a pan of hot, but not boiling, water. Use a spoon to drizzle this over the top of the cooked brownie in a random fashion.
40 g milk chocolate
Leave to cool.
Cut into 16 pieces.
