Instructions

Brownies

  • Microwave butter and sugar until melted, about 1 minute. Stir and heat for additional 10-15 second increments, if needed until butter has melted. Whisk together to blend. Allow to cool slightly before the next step.
  • Once cooled for about 5 or more minutes, stir in the vanilla and eggs until blended thoroughly.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then blend into wet ingredients.
  • Pour into an 8" x 8" pan lined with parchment paper.

Peanut Butter Swirl

  • Blend these ingredients together into a smooth consistency.
  • Drop equal portions of peanut butter filling in a 3 x 3 array over the top.
  • Gently cut through the blobs horizontally, then vertically using an offset spatula, knife or a wooden skewer.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 40-45 minutes until toothpick inserted in center brownie portion , avoiding PB filling, is no longer wet. My brownies took 45 minutes, but ovens vary, so check at 40 minutes to start.
  • Allow them to cool completely before cutting.
