Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the brownies once they’re baked.
-
Combine the all-purpose flour, chocolate chips, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Stir the ingredients vigorously until they are well blended and form a smooth, creamy mixture.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the peanut butter and sugar mixture, stirring gently until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; you want the batter to be just blended for the perfect texture.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top for a uniform appearance.
-
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it.
-
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the cooled brownies into squares and serve them as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy the irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter in every bite!
