  • Oven
  • Bowl
  • 9 x 13 inch baking dish
  • parchment paper
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • mixing spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder I prefer and use the Hershey's Dark Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 sticks salted butter melted and hot to the touch
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar light or dark
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter

Instructions

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Notes

  • Parchment Paper. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes for an easy clean up.
  • Offset Spatula. Use an offset spatula to spread the peanut butter layer nice and easy over the bottom half of the brownie batter.
  • Plastic Knife. Use a plastic knife to cut cooled brownies into squares. This helps prevent sticking. Cuts so nicely.
