Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Whisk or electric mixer
– 8×8 inch baking pan
– Parchment paper (optional)
– Rubber spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always do this before I start mixing the ingredients, so everything is ready to go. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar, whisking until they are well blended. The mixture should be smooth and creamy, almost like a thick frosting, which makes it super satisfying to stir. Afterward, beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until all the ingredients are incorporated. The batter will start to come together beautifully, and the peanut butter aroma will fill your kitchen.
