Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brownies:
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 cup milk
  • For the Peanut Butter Swirl:
    • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
    • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
    • Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the milk and stir until smooth.
  3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl:
    • In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Brownies:
    • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the brownie batter. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing Instructions: These brownies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Peanut Butter Variation: For an extra peanut butter flavor, you can add chopped peanuts or drizzle extra peanut butter on top of the brownies after baking.
  • Texture Tip: For fudgier brownies, reduce the baking time slightly. If you prefer cake-like brownies, bake a few minutes longer.
