Description

Deliciously fudgy brownies with creamy peanut butter and chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy Jif or Skippy)
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups White granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup Oil (vegetable or canola oil)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the peanut butter for 30 seconds until melted. Add the sifted powdered sugar and mix until combined.
  2. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray and line with wax paper. Use a 1/2 TBSP to dollop the peanut butter. Use it all. Freeze for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9X9 inch pan with baking non-stick spray. Line the bottom and 2 sides of the pan with parchment paper and spray again. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift the flour and cocoa powder. Then, add in cornstarch and salt. Melt the butter in the microwave, then let it cool.
  5. Using a mixer, beat the sugar, powdered sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed. Beat for 3 minutes, it will become very pale in color. This helps give the brownies a crinkle top.
  6. Add in melted butter, oil, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until just combined. Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula and scrape the bowl gently.
  7. Add in chocolate chips and frozen peanut butter dollops. Fold with a rubber spatula.
  8. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 38-45 minutes. The brownies are done when edges are set, but the center is barely set. The middle should jiggle. It will keep cooking once pulled out of oven. Let cool completely on a wire rack in the pan before serving.
