Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is glossy and well-combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Dollop the peanut butter mixture on top in small spoonfuls, then pour the remaining brownie batter over it.
  6. Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense or chewy brownies.’, ‘Start checking the brownies at 30 minutes to ensure they remain fudgy.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs for a smoother texture.’, ‘Swirl gently to maintain distinct layers of peanut butter and chocolate.’, ‘Cool completely before slicing to avoid messy edges.’]
