Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add peanut butter, milk, and vanilla. Stir until creamy.
- Gradually stir in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan. Use a spatula to level the top.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. To make it nut-free, substitute sunflower seed butter. Swirl in extra peanut butter or jam before baking for a marbled twist.
