Ingredients
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey’s Dark preferred)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, melted and hot
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
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk hot melted butter, canola oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 1 minute until smooth.
-
Add eggs and vanilla to the wet ingredients and whisk for 2 minutes until thick and glossy.
-
Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
-
Spread half the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
-
Use a cookie scoop to dollop peanut butter over the batter and smooth it into an even layer.
-
Gently spread the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter.
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the center is mostly set but still slightly gooey.
-
Cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with ice cream.
Notes
Use natural creamy peanut butter for a richer flavor, or try crunchy for texture.
Add chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for extra indulgence.
These brownies are even better the next day once the flavors have settled.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
