INSTRUCTIONS:
list of 6 items
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350¡ãF (175¡ãC). Grease a 9¡Á9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. In a
separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until
just combined.
3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften it. Stir in the
powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Assemble the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture on top
of the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
5. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
6. Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
