Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 cup butter melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Swirl
- 2-8 ounce packages cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a separate medium bowl.
- Gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture, and stir until just incorporated.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Remove 1 cup brownie batter for topping, and set aside.
- Spread remaining batter into prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter and sugar, and beat together until smooth.
- Beat in egg and milk on low just until combined.
- Carefully spread peanut butter mixture over brownie batter.
- Drop reserved batter by tablespoonfuls over filling.
- Cut through batter with a knife to swirl. You won't want to overdo the swirling or you'll end up without distinct swirls.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few fudgy crumbs.
- Let come to room temperature before serving.
- Cover and chill leftovers.
Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
- Cocoa powder: I've only used unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe. I haven't tried Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
- Chocolate chips: You can substitute milk chocolate chips if you prefer your brownies a little sweeter.
- Cream cheese: I recommend using full-fat cream cheese in this recipe.
- Peanut butter: I don't recommend using natural peanut butter in this recipe.
