Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups creamy all natural peanut butter
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
  • ⅓ cup creamy all natural peanut butter, to swirl

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar to a bowl.
  4. Stir the peanut butter and powdered sugar to combine until thick.
  5. Set the peanut butter filling aside.
  6. In another bowl, add melted butter and chocolate chips.
  7. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is creamy.
  8. Microwave quickly if needed to fully melt the chocolate.
  9. In a clean mixing bowl, add granulated sugar and eggs.
  10. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  11. Pour in the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  12. Stir gently to combine the chocolate and egg mixture.
  13. Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and flour to the bowl.
  14. Stir until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
  15. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared lined pan.
  16. Drop the peanut butter filling in dollops on top of the brownie batter.
  17. Use your hands to gently spread the peanut butter filling into an even layer.
  18. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top of the peanut butter layer.
  19. Pour the ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter all over the top of the brownie batter.
  20. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter.
  21. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the middle looks set and no longer jiggles.
  22. Remove the brownies from the oven.
  23. Allow the brownies to fully cool before slicing into squares.

Notes

Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Do not overmix the brownie batter once flour is added, to keep them fudgy.
Line your pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides, for easy removal.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
