Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Drop dollops of the peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie batter.
Using a butter knife, gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter to create a marbled pattern. Be careful not to over-swirl for the best paisley effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for fudgy brownies.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Paisley Brownies!
