1. Prep the Peanut Butter Filling
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Roll into 12 small balls (about 1 tsp each) and freeze for 15 minutes (to prevent melting too fast).
2. Make the Brownie Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper.
Whisk melted butter and sugar until combined.
Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, stirring until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips (if using).
3. Layer & Bake
Spread half the brownie batter into the pan.
Place peanut butter balls evenly over the batter.
Cover with remaining batter, sealing the edges.
Bake for 25-30 minutes (center should be slightly fudgy).
Let cool 10 minutes before slicing—don’t skip this! (The peanut butter needs to set.)
4. Serve & Devour!
Sprinkle with flaky salt for a gourmet touch.
Best served slightly warm—the peanut butter will be gloriously gooey!
