Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready once your batter is prepared.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×9 inch metal or glass baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies after baking. This also helps with cleaning.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the peanut butter, melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Slowly incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing gently after each addition to combine.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  6. Mix Batter: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the brownies from becoming cakey; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  7. Bake: Pour and smooth the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. The brownies might look slightly wet or soft in the center, which ensures chewiness.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. This cooling lets them set properly and develop their characteristic chewy texture. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and slice to serve.

Notes

  • Use crunchy or smooth peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain chewiness and avoid cakey brownies.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cleanup.
  • The slightly underbaked center is intentional to keep the brownies moist and chewy.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
