Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in cocoa powder and flour until just combined.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
While baking, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar until thick yet spreadable.
After the first layer cools slightly, spread the peanut butter mixture over it. Pour remaining brownie batter on top and gently swirl with a knife.
Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow cooling completely before slicing.
