Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter until melted, about 20-30 seconds. Drop spoonfuls of the melted peanut butter onto the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie mixture for a marbled effect.
- If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top for an extra chocolatey touch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
