Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and add in chocolate chips and sugar.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add in eggs, one at a time, stirring completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using big strokes, stir in JUST until mixed and no longer see dry ingredients. DO NOT BEAT OR OVER STIR.
- Pour batter into dish and dollop with peanut butter. Swirl peanut butter into brownie batter with a knife.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- Do not over stir after adding the dry ingredients.
- Use a plastic knife for cutting cooled brownies. Works like a charm without ripping the brownies.
- Avoid using natural peanut butters as they tend to have oils that make them separate from the chocolate.
