Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Stir in granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and blend thoroughly. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until combined into a smooth batter.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a small bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter with softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This filling will add richness to the brownies.
- Assemble Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour half of the brownie batter evenly into the pan. Spoon dollops of the peanut butter filling over the batter, spacing evenly. Cover with the remaining brownie batter, spreading gently to enclose the peanut butter filling.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the edges comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; crunchy can be used for texture variations.
- For a richer peanut flavor, swirl melted peanut butter on top before baking instead of stuffing.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Allow brownies to cool fully for cleaner slices and improved texture.
