Servings: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
- In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix well until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the peanut butter brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top in small spoonfuls. Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the caramel into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
