Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
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 mixture using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Microwave the peanut butter for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to work with, then spoon dollops of peanut butter over the brownie batter.
Using a knife, gently swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out by the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy!
