Peanut Butter Brownies
Description
The Peanut Butter Brownies recipe starts by creaming together smooth peanut butter, softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Eggs and vanilla extract are then incorporated to bind the mixture. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, and salt are gently folded in along with peanut butter chips, which melt during baking to add bursts of flavor and texture.
Baked in a 9x13-inch pan at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, the brownies develop a firm but moist texture. The peanut butter dominates the flavor profile with a sweet richness offset by a tender crumb. The baking powder offers a slight lift, keeping the brownies from being too dense.
Once cooled, the brownies can be cut into squares and served as a snack or dessert. They work well as a classic treat and are easy to portion and store.
