Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy recommended)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Measure out all your ingredients so everything is ready for quick mixing.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: Melt the butter either on the stove or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir in the sugar until combined, then beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until you get a smooth, glossy mixture.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to retain the fudgy texture.
  5. Add the Peanut Butter: Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it in, creating pockets of peanut buttery richness throughout the batter.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool before slicing to preserve the gooey texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter consistency.
  • Do not overbake to maintain that perfect fudgy texture.
  • Swirl peanut butter creatively for visual appeal and taste bursts.
  • Chill brownies before slicing for cleaner, neat squares.
  • Creamy peanut butter works best, but natural or crunchy can add interesting texture.
