Stuffed Peanut Butter Cup Brownies (Vegan in the Freezer)

Stuffed Peanut Butter Cup Brownies. My head is starting to physically swirl around in circles. Wow – heaven! I am going to try and make this as easy as I can for you so we start with a cake mix that is vegan. Duncan Hines even. Now we all know that peanut butter cups are not vegan so to keep them pure you would want to make my recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups for the center. Make the balls half the size that the recipe calls for and then just squish the balls down a bit and they fit in the brownie mix perfectly. These chewy, dense and rich chocolate flavor brownies will rival any that you have ever had.

Prep Time: 50 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Yield: 16 Brownies

Serving Size: 1 Brownie

Ingredients

1 Box Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies

2 Tablespoons Flax Seed Meal

and 5 Tablespoons water

1/3 cup Coconut Oil

1/4 cup water

16 peanut butter cups (balls)

Directions

Lightly oil a 8" x 8" Baking Pan

.

Mix the flax seed meal and water and set aside so that it can gel a bit.

In a large bowl add the brownie mix, water, oil and prepared flax seed meal mix.

Mix well with a wooden spoon. It does not have to be completely smooth. It takes about 50 strokes.

Put half the mixture in the prepared baking pan.

Set the peanut butter cups 4 across and 4 down. That will be 16 peanut butter cups.

Spoon the remainder of the batter over the top to make another layer. I dab some batter on the top each peanut butter cup to make sure they are covered. Then I fill in the rest all around.

Keep the balls/cups in their positions so that when you cut the finished product there is one right in the middle of each brownie.

Even out the layer all the way across the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Cool in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes.

Slice 3 across in both directions. That will give you 16 squares.

When completely cooled, store in an airtight container.

TO FREEZE:

After they have cooled you may freeze them in any of the methods shown in my article http://veganinthefreezer.com/preparing-food-for-the-freezer/

They defrost quickly so it really doesn't take any planning. Just put them on a plate for an hour or two and enjoy.
