Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 box peanut butter brownie mix
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Topping
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) to ensure it is ready for baking.
- Prepare baking tin: Line an 8×8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper, making sure the paper covers the bottom and sides for easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- Mix batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter brownie mix with 2 tablespoons of water, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking tin, spreading it out smoothly for even baking.
- Add peanut butter topping: Drizzle 4 tablespoons of peanut butter over the top of the batter. Adjust the amount to taste for extra creaminess and flavor.
- Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack to set properly.
- Cut and serve: After cooling, cut the brownies into small squares, serve, and enjoy your delicious peanut butter brownies!
Notes
- For extra gooey brownies, reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes but watch closely to prevent undercooking.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for richer flavor.
- If you prefer chunky peanut butter, use it for a textured topping instead of smooth peanut butter.
- Make sure to line the tin with parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
