Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for swirl
  • 1 large egg for swirl
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, stirring to incorporate.
  • Fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter.
  • Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the peanut butter mixture into the brownie batter.
  • Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Customization: Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped peanuts on top before baking for extra texture.
  • Freezing Tip: Wrap individual brownie squares in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
