Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds to soften it. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter onto the brownie batter in the dish, then use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter on top of the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
