Gooey Peanut Butter Brownies are just about my favorite dessert recipe. They are full of all the flavors I love and meld the combination of chocolate and peanut butter together perfectly.

Desserts that are gooey or chewy are fun and tasty. And making brownies from scratch is so much easier than you might think.

Watch my video below to see how to make gooey chocolate brownies with peanut butter swirled in.

How to Make Brownies from Scratch

In just a few steps, you can learn how to make brownies from scratch.

Is your pantry stocked up with standard baking supplies like flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, granulated sugar and salt? You might already have everything needed to make gooey chocolate brownies with peanut butter.

You'll also need two mixing bowls: one for the chocolate brownie mixture and one for the peanut butter mixture.

Make Easy Homemade Brownies

A couple baking shortcuts I like to remember when making a chewy brownie recipe are:

Use parchment paper in your square baking pan. There are even handy pre-cut parchment papers that you can use. These will make clean up a breeze and save time during your baking process also.
Clean up as you go. This is a tip that I often overlook because I want to put my brownies in the oven as quickly as possible. However, it really saves time to at least have a sink full of soapy water and rinse the dishes off as you finish using them. And, if you have several recipes to make at once, this makes life so much easier!
Don't cut brownies in the pan! I used to always cut brownies while they were in the pan, but once I started using parchment paper, it was a total game changer. Lift the brownies out of the pan and then slice them.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare the brownie batter, by whisking all the ingredients together ina large mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture is nice and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter layer ingredients. You can also do this in a stand mixer, if you prefer.
Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing some to overhang the sides of the pan, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour ⅓ of the brownie batter into the pan in an even layer.
Add the peanut butter layer on top. It will be thicker than the brownie batter, so you can dollop it around the pan.
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top and even it out.
Top with the chocolate chips.
Bake for approximately 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool. Use the aluminum foil to gently lift the brownies from the pan. Cut and serve.
