Ingredients
Scale
- 227g unsalted butter
- 175g semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 150g all purpose flour
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200g granulated sugar
- 220g firmly packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8 inch square baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, whisk in 87g chocolate chips until fully melted. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool briefly.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour and cocoa powder. Whisk in salt.
- Whisk sugars, eggs, and vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined, then fold in remaining chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Drop peanut butter by teaspoonfuls over the top and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until center is set. Cover with foil after 25 minutes if peanut butter browns too quickly. Let cool completely before cutting.
