How to Make Amazing Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 11x7 inch baking pan.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter.
- Whisk in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your favorite nuts).
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and pan size. For a 13x9 inch pan, increase baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
