Peanut Butter Brownies
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter for 30 seconds, or until softened. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter over the brownie batter, then use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
