Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 180 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined and glossy.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for about 20 seconds until it's slightly runny. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the brownie batter.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
