What You’ll Need

• all-purpose flour-Flour is the main dry ingredient in the brownies.
• kosher salt– Kosher salt is a course salt commonly used in cooking and baking. I prefer it over table salt.
• unsweetened cocoa powder– Hershey’s Special Dark is what I prefer.
• salted butter– For most of my recipes I use salted butter. Unsalted works too.
• brown sugar– This cookie recipe can use light or dark brown sugar.
• granulated sugar– This fine white sugar adds sweetness to the brownies..
• canola oil– Canola oil is part of the wet ingredients for the brownies.
• large eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs in my cooking and baking.
• creamy peanut butter– Use your favorite brand of peanut butter.

How To Make Peanut Butter Brownies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
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.
