Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 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
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds until slightly runny.
- Drop spoonfuls of the melted peanut butter onto the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
