Is there a better way to start February than with fudgy gooey peanut brownies?! Trust me, the melting flavours of bittersweet chocolate and salty peanuts is a match made in heaven. Typing these words I’m thrilled and still struck with disbelief all at once. I’ve had peanut allergies for more than a decade, and only two years ago my doctor confirmed that they’re gone. Maybe even for good.
As you can imagine, having suffered from this nut allergy made me really precautious. People don’t always take you seriously when you tell them you can’t eat a certain group of foods. But there it was: the day I left the doctor’s and could have run to the supermarket to enjoy my first pack of m&ms or a snickers. But that didn’t quite happen. At first I didn’t dare to include peanuts into my diet. Over the months I’ve tried a bite here and there, but mid last year, I had a stack of pancakes with peanut butter and berries. And it was sooooo delicious.
So… here we are. Inmidst of a pandemic celebrating the disparition of most of food allergies.
Update March 2024: the peanut allergy is back, but I’ll leave the recipe here, because it’s delicious, and all of you who don’t have any allergies, should have access to these bad boys.
