Brownie Batter

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar and salt together. Let cool for five minutes and then whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Pour in the wet brownie ingredients and mix well. Add in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Scatter the almond butter batter over the brownie batter. Gently swirl them together using a spoon or spatula. Don't over mix because you still want to see the almond butter.
