Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Using a spoon, drop dollops of peanut butter on top of the batter. Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and cut into squares.
- Serve and enjoy!
