Description

Rich and fudgy brownies swirled with creamy peanut butter for a delicious treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter and milk until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter.
  8. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add chocolate chips to the brownie batter.
