- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter until smooth; remove from heat.
- Mix in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well blended, then add eggs one at a time, whisking until glossy.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt; stir gently until just combined to maintain chewy texture.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Swirl in spoonfuls of additional peanut butter before adding the remaining batter on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean; avoid overbaking for gooey centers.
