Delicious Peanut Butter Brownies

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional for that extra kick!)

Instructions:

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan. We want these brownies to slide right out when they’re done!
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once it’s melted, stir in the sugar until it’s nice and combined.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add that lovely vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is just combined.
  5. Now for the fun part! Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter into the brownie batter and use a knife to swirl it around. If you like chocolate chips, toss ’em in now!
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let these bad boys cool before you cut them into squares.

And there you have it! Your kitchen is about to smell like heaven, and you’re just moments away from indulging in these luscious peanut butter brownies. Enjoy them warm or room temperature, and don’t forget to share—or not! 😉
