Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter cups chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped peanut butter cups, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. The creamy peanut butter filling will melt slightly, adding extra richness.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Freeze baked brownies in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
