As a kid, I loved peanut butter brownies, but my adult taste buds find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated peanut butter chocolate chip brownie recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about one-third from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of the three variations that I attempted.

Ingredients

0.75 cups all-purpose flour
0.25 cups powdered peanut butter , such as PB2
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoons salt
0.5 cups peanut butter
0.33 cups butter
0.5 cups white sugar
0.25 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
0.5 cups dark chocolate chips , or to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
2

Whisk flour, powdered peanut butter, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
3

Beat peanut butter and butter together in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add white sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until smooth. Stir in flour mixture and chocolate chips until incorporated. Spread batter into the prepared baking dish.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
