Ingredients
white chocolate
1 cup (chopped)
butter
1/4 cup (cubed)
sugar
3/4 cup (granulated)
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons
salt
1/2 teaspoon
large eggs
2 (beaten)
smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil hangs over the edges for easy removal, and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
2
In a medium saucepan, melt the cubed butter over low to medium heat. Alternatively, you can melt the butter carefully in the microwave. Once the butter is completely melted, remove the pan from the heat.
3
Add the chopped white chocolate to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
4
Next, mix in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Let the mixture cool to a lukewarm temperature.
5
Once cooled, whisk in the beaten eggs until fully incorporated, then add in the smooth peanut butter, mixing well until the batter is smooth.
6
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the bittersweet chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring that they are evenly distributed.
8
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out to ensure even baking. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips on top for an extra indulgent finish.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the brownies are light golden brown and the edges slightly pull away from the sides of the pan. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
10
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the foil edges. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
