Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Butter (cold, unsalted)
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking brownies from scratch, or follow the package directions if using a mix.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the streusel starts to clump together but still retains that crumbly texture.
Prepare the brownie batter of your choice and pour it into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan.
Sprinkle the peanut butter streusel evenly over the top of the brownie batter, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Bake the brownies according to the brownie recipe or package directions, keeping an eye on the streusel to ensure it turns golden brown but does not burn.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
