Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until it becomes slightly runny. Using a spoon, drop dollops of the warmed peanut butter over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
