Peanut Butter Marbled Brownies

Ingredients

Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delicious brownies:

  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Now that you’re all set with the ingredients, let’s get down to business and make these brownies!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the sugar, stirring until well combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, microwave the peanut butter until it’s warm and slightly runny. This makes it easier to swirl into the brownie batter.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Then, drizzle half of the peanut butter over the top. Using a knife or a toothpick, gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter.
  7. Spread the remaining brownie batter on top and repeat the peanut butter drizzle and swirl.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake!
  9. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.

Enjoy these rich, chocolatey brownies with the perfect touch of creamy peanut butter. They’re a wonderful treat for any occasion!
