Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
Ingredients
Chocolate Layers
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8” x 8” pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix all the ingredients for the chocolate layer in a large mixing bowl, adding in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt last.
- Lightly fold in the flour and cocoa powder until just mixed. (Do not over mix or the brownies will turn out cake-like).
- Mix the ingredients for the peanut butter brownie layer, again saving the flour, baking powder and salt for last and stirring until just mixed.
- Spread peanut butter brownie layer on the bottom of the pan.
- Top it with the chocolate brownie layer, spreading the batter for both layers out evenly.
- Bake for 22 minutes. Brownies will still be soft and gooey, but will finish setting while they cool. Enjoy!
