Easy Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe
Description
These easy peanut butter brownies are rich, fudgy, and full of chocolate and peanut butter flavor. Made with brownie mix and a creamy peanut butter swirl, this simple peanut butter brownies recipe is a quick, delicious dessert for any peanut butter fan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (any brand) - for 8x8 pan
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325°F. Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Add the brownie mix, egg, water, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer until you have a smooth, wet batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
- Drizzle 4 tablespoons of peanut butter over the brownie batter. I like to add a little extra because it makes the brownies even creamier.
- Use a butter knife to gently swirl the peanut butter mixture through the batter. Don’t completely mix it in – you want to be able to see that pretty peanut butter swirl on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or according to your brownie mix directions, until the brownies are set. Use the toothpick test to check them. For fudgy brownies, I like the toothpick to have a few moist crumbs rather than be completely dry.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and let the brownies cool before lifting them from the pan and slicing them into squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
- For best results, don’t overmix the batter and don’t overbake the brownies. Either one can affect that soft, fudgy texture we’re looking for.
- I also recommend lining your square baking pan with parchment, leaving a little extra hanging over the sides. Once the brownies are cool, you can use the parchment to lift the entire batch from the pan. It’s a good way to get cleaner cuts without digging that first brownie square out of the corner!
- You don’t have to measure the peanut butter perfectly. Two tablespoons will give you a lighter swirl, while three or four tablespoons create a thicker, creamier layer of peanut butter.
