Deliciously rich brownies swirled with creamy peanut butter for a perfect treat.

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Add-ins

  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
  • 0.5 cup salted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (pure)
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Divide ⅔ for batter, ⅓ cup for swirls)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
  • Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and salt.
  • Stir dry ingredients into wet, then spread half of batter into the pan. Dollop ⅔ cup peanut butter on top, then spread remaining batter over.
  • Warm ⅓ cup peanut butter briefly, drizzle over batter, and swirl with a knife. Bake for 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Cool completely at room temperature for 2 hours, then cut into 16 slices and serve.

Notes

For cleaner swirls, heat peanut butter slightly before drizzling.
