Description
I loved peanut butter brownies as a kid but my adult taste buds now find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I’ve reduced the sugar by about 1/3 from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of three alternate variations that I attempted.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2®)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup butter
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- Stir flour
- powdered peanut butter
- baking powder
- and salt together in a bowl.
- Beat peanut butter and butter together in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add white sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until smooth. Stir in flour mixture and chocolate chips until incorporated into batter. Spread batter into prepared baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
- 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
