Stuffed Peanut Butter Brownies
Stuffed Peanut Butter Brownies have a creamy peanut butter center tucked between rich, fudgy chocolate layers—an indulgent treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup salted butter
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2½ cups creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides for easy lifting.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk hot melted butter, canola oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 1 minute until glossy and smooth.
- Whisk in eggs and vanilla for 2 minutes until the mixture is thick and shiny.
- Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until no flour remains. Don’t overmix.
- Spread half the batter into the pan. Dollop peanut butter over it, then smooth into an even layer.
- Gently spoon the remaining batter over the peanut butter and spread to cover completely.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Don’t overbake.
- Cool completely in the pan. Lift out using the parchment, transfer to a board, and cut into squares
