Description
These brownies have a rich, chocolatey flavor with a smooth, peanut butter swirl on top. They’re moist, chewy, and the perfect treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup peanut butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
- For the peanut butter swirl, drop spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
- You can add extra peanut butter chips for a more intense peanut butter flavor.
- For a crunchier texture, consider adding chopped peanuts to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
