Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the margarine or butter at half-power in the microwave until mostly melted.
3
Using a wire whisk, mix the brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
5
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt directly to the bowl and mix with a wooden or plastic spoon until fully combined, avoiding over-mixing.
6
Fold in the peanut butter chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top as needed.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The edges should appear golden brown, and the center should look set but still slightly undercooked for that ooey-gooey texture.
9
For optimal enjoyment, let them cool slightly before cutting into squares. If you prefer a firmer texture, continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, but be careful not to overbake.
