INGREDIENTS

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional.

Peanut Butter Swirl

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Pan and Oven

  • preheat oven to 350 F
  • line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.

Mix Batter and Bake

  • whisk melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until glossy
  • whisk in eggs and vanilla until smooth
  • fold in cocoa powder then flour and salt just until combined and do not overmix
  • fold in chocolate chips if using
  • spread batter evenly in pan
  • stir peanut butter with powdered sugar milk and vanilla until smooth and drizzle over batter
  • gently swirl with a knife for a marbled look
  • bake until edges are set and center looks just set with moist crumbs on a toothpick 28 to 35 minutes
  • cool completely before slicing for clean squares.

Notes

1. Use natural peanut butter only if well stirred and slightly thick. For extra chewy brownies chill before slicing and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts. Swap chocolate chips for peanut butter chips or chopped peanuts. Underbake slightly for a softer center and avoid overmixing to prevent cakey texture
