Peanut Butter Brownies
These fudgy peanut butter brownies are the prefect balance of salty and sweet. Plus this easy brownie recipe is made from just 8 ingredients, in under one hour!
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla.
- Add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix everything with a spoon just until there are no visible dry ingredients.
- Spread the batter evenly into the greased baking pan. The batter will be thick.
- Bake for about 25 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center has some moist crumbs sticking to it, but no wet batter.Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Don't overmix your brownie batter, otherwise your brownies could end up tough. Gently mix the batter just until there are no dry flour pockets visible.
- To avoid overbaking your brownies, insert a toothpick into the center to check them. If the toothpick comes out with some moist crumbs but no liquid batter, they're ready to come out of the oven.
- Drizzle extra creamy peanut butter on top for a fun look and extra hit of salty flavor to balance the sweet fudgy brownies.
- Creamy natural peanut butter tends to be thinner and easier to drizzle than other types of peanut butter.
