Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Peanut butter chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
Add the creamy peanut butter to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully combined before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the peanut butter chips gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy your decadent Peanut Butter Chip Squares!
