Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened preferred)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly 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 mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Spoon dollops of 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 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
Remove 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. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
