How To Make Peanut Butter Brownies

2. Place flour, cocoa powder and salt in a large mixing bowl, stir to combine. Place hot melted butter, oil, and sugars into a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined, a good minute. Stir in eggs and vanilla, whisking another 2 minutes. Slowly stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl, gently stirring just until batter forms.
3. Spread half of the brownie batter into bottom of baking dish. Use a cookie scoop to scoop peanut butter evenly over top of brownie batter, then use a knife or offset spatula to spread evenly over batter. Spoon remaining brownie batter over top of peanut butter layer and carefully spread evenly.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until mostly baked through. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares. Serve room temperature or warmed with a scoop of ice cream.
