Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 180 grams Peanut butter (creamy)
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Large egg
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 200 grams Chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and peanut butter together for about 45 seconds. Stir until smooth, then mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until fully combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir until just combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before lifting the bars out of the pan and cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
