Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 0.75 cup Brown Sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just softened (about 30 seconds in the microwave).
Add the peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until smooth and combined.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy your chewy peanut butter bars!
