Sourdough Peanutbutter Brownie Bites for #OXOgoodcookies #Sponsored

 I received free products for the purpose of this post. All opinions are my own, and I would never post about a product or service I didn't agree with.

It's fall, and that means our favorite kitchen product company, OXO, is baking up some good for Cookies for Kids' Cancer! I'm contributing these deeelicious Sourdough Peanutbutter Brownie Bites. What's Cookies for Kids' Cancer? From their website, here's what it's all about:

Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a national 501(c)3 non-profit, is committed to raising funds for research to develop new, improved treatments for pediatric cancer, the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. We provide inspiration and support for individuals, businesses and organizations to raise funds by hosting grassroots bake sales and other fundraising events. 


How can you get involved?

Join the Cookies for Kids' Cancer 4th Annual 50 State Challenge in support of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September. The goal is simple: inspire Cookies for Kids' Cancer events to take place in all 50 states to promote childhood cancer awareness and raise funds to help develop new, and less toxic pediatric cancer treatments.

Each year, OXO participates in part by identifying a handful of bloggers and sending along some of their products to help bake up some special recipes for the event. Here is what I received:


  • Muffin Pan - The Non-Stick Pro Muffin Pan features a unique micro-textured pattern that ensures even baking and adds structural rigidity. It's made with a ceramic-reinforced, two-layer, commercial-grade coating that provides ultimate non-stick release and is scratch-, stain-, corrosion- and abrasion-resistant.
  • Baking Cups - The BPA-free Baking Cups have handy tabs to help remove them from muffin tins without making a thumbprint, and the inside of each Cup is smooth and non-stick to release your treat easily. With a fill line, your cupcakes will be consistent every time.
  • Baker's Decorating Tool - Our easy-to-use, easy-to-fill Tool is designed to give you complete control while decorating. The unique trigger provides a smooth stream of icing for clean lines, and the comfortable handles ensure a steady grip and protect icing from warm hands.


I was honored to be chosen and decided to make every kid's favorite combination: peanut butter and chocolate! And thus, these Sourdough Peanutbutter Brownie Bites  were born. I amped up this recipe by adding some of my sourdough starter. If you don't have a sourdough starter, you can substitute in 1 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of sour cream or yogurt to get a similar flavor.


Not to mention, these cool OXO products made it super easy! I am going to be using those silicone liners allll the time, I hate when muffin residue gets stuck on the paper! And the Decorator's Tool will be great for the holidays, as me and piping bags have a bit of a love-hate relationship. The gripped handle and gun-like dispenser made frosting these a breeze. I loved how easy these were to throw together, thanks to the OXO products!


Sourdough Brownie Bites with Peanutbutter Buttercream

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
PB Buttercream

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup peanutbutter
  • 2-5 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1-3 tbsp water or milk, as needed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners.

Combine all the ingredients for the brownie and with a hand or stand mixer (except the chips), beat until smooth. Fold in the chips.

Fill the muffin liners 1/2 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crispy on the edges and springy in the middle. Let cool completely.

With a stand or hand mixer on high, beat together the peanutbutter and butter. Slowly add the confectioner's sugar until the frosting holds its shape but is still soft--about 2 cups. If too much sugar is added, slowly add the water or milk until it softens up. Likewise, if it gets too wet, add more sugar.

Fill your frosting device with the mixture and frost your cooled brownies.
