Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Peanut Butter Swirl
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully combined.
Assembly
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the brownie layer, then pour the remaining brownie batter on top.
- Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter gently.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips on top, if desired.
Baking
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool before cutting them into squares.
Notes
To enhance the texture, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. For better flavor, consider adding nuts or caramel swirls. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
