Let’s Bake Peanut Butter Brownies
Today we will be baking! This recipe is peanut butter brownies. They are very good and tasty. Definitely worth the time making them. These are one of my favorite brownies because I love brownies and peanut butter! They are just like brownies with peanut butter swirled on top. They are pretty easy to make and it is worth it because they are so delicious. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
-2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cups granulated sugar
-1/3 cup powdered sugar
-3/4 teaspoon salt**, see note
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee, optional
-1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
-3 large eggs
-1/2 cup vegetable oil
-2 tablespoons water
-2/3 cup chopped peanut butter cups
-1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, not natural**
**IF YOUR PEANUT BUTTER IS SALTED YOU CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SALT TO 1/2 TEASPOON.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 pan with foil, leaving a couple inches of overhang on two sides (this will allow you to lift the whole tray of brownies out of the pan for easy removal). Butter or spray it.
- In a large bowl combine cocoa powder, sugars, salt, flour, espresso powder, and chocolate chips. Whisk until combined. Add eggs, oil, and water and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until combined. Fold in peanut butter cups (the batter will be thick).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Drop dollops of peanut butter on the top of the brownies, and use a knife to swirl it around.
- Bake for about 30 minutes. The brownies are done when the top is dry and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without raw batter on it (there may be some fudgy crumbs on the toothpick – that’s OK). Be careful not to over bake. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely.
I hope you all enjoyed making these delicious peanut butter brownies. They are super yummy! Leave a comment for a recipe or food you would like me to make next!

Hey Lulia, I’m so glad you are going to make these. You could make them without peanut and I’m sure they would be just as good. I’m sure your mom is going to love them!
I’m planning on making more articles with more recipes soon. Thanks!

Looks so good but I don’t like peanut butter. Can I make it without peanut butter ? It looks really good and I will make it for mother’s days especially because I love baking and cooking. If you have any recipes please send them to me!

Oh! Thanks for getting back to me! I used Marshmallow Fluff as a replacement and it tasted like a s’more! Soooo good! Thank you for the recipe!

Hello Giada,
That is a very good question. I don’t have any substitutions for peanut butter that come to mind but I’m sure these would be amazing without peanut butter too. You could use the exact same recipe just skip the peanut butter! Thanks for reading my article. Let me know how they turn out.

Wow! This looks soooooo good! To bad I’m allergic to peanuts…….
is there a replacement for the peanut butter that doesn’t include nuts?
