Ingredients

Scale

1 1/4 cups creamy conventional peanut butter
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together until smooth.
In another bowl, blend the peanut butter and a pinch of salt until creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, folding gently until no dry streaks remain.
Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan; dollop spoonfuls of peanut butter filling on top and cover with remaining batter.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
