Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 170 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix.
Gently stir in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping, if desired.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top for decoration, pressing them lightly into the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy as an indulgent treat or dessert!
