Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (smooth or chunky, based on preference)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation Method

Preheat the Oven:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or cooking spray for easy removal.

Melt Peanut Butter and Butter:In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter together. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until completely smooth and combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients:Stir the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted peanut butter and butter mixture. Mix until the sugar is dissolved, and everything is well incorporated.

Add Dry Ingredients:In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (be careful not to over-mix).

Pour and Spread:Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Bake:Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). The edges should appear set while the center remains slightly soft for that fudgy texture.

Cool and Serve:Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve!

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle melted chocolate or extra peanut butter over the cooled brownies. You can also sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist!
