Equipment

- Nonstick cooking spray
- Large mixing bowl (for wet ingredients)
- Medium mixing bowl (for dry ingredients)
- Whisk or spatula (for mixing)
- Sifter or fine mesh strainer (for dry ingredients)
- Butter knife (for swirling peanut butter)
- Microwave-safe bowl (for warming peanut butter)
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in vanilla.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly. Warm peanut butter slightly in the microwave (10–15 seconds), then drop spoonfuls over the top. Use a butter knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
