I have eaten insane amounts of peanut butter brownies for the past two weeks trying to perfect this recipe for y’all. You’re welcome. This food blogging gig is hard work I tell ya! Good thing I love me some peanut butter.
I’m happy to report…I nailed it!
This peanut butter brownie recipe is going to become your newest addiction. It’s all things a peanut butter treat should be and rarely are – moist, dense, and totally decadent. I made these brownies with and without frosting, in an 8×8 and in a 9×13, with and without peanut butter and chocolate chips. This is my favorite combination by far.
The other batches were awesome, but not magical. I require magical these days.
I made a “brownie purist” version with absolutely no chips of any kind inside. It was good and totally an option for those of you who are like, “Oh HECK NO you’re not putting anything inside my brownie!” Do what you feel is right. I will not mess with anyone’s brownie needs for sure. I understand it is serious business.
Even after eating my fair share of peanut butter brownies, I coudn’t seem to to wrest myself away from the allure of this batch. Wicked good I tell you – wicked good.
Come get ya some.

This may seem like a goofy question, but why are these baked in a 9×13 pan?
There is only 1 1/4 cup flour in this recipe, including all the other ingredients and there is not enough batter to begin filling a 9×13 pan.
Could this recipe be put into an 8×8 square pan and still bake correctly?
If I’m going through the effort of making brownies I do prefer a thick brownie in which ever texture preference i.e. Cake-like brownies or Fudge-like brownies.

Olivia Geiger says
The first time I made these, they turned out very good!! The past two times that I’ve made them, the batter was never like the first time and I had to throw the whole pan away because they just wouldn’t bake. I follow the recipe exactly and don’t know why it isn’t working since they turned out perfect the first time. Did you change the recipe or what can I do to make it better? The batter is like a cookie dough batter and the first time that I made it, it was basically a shiny ball of dough that stuck together in a clump.

The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies, yes? https://www.momontimeout.com/2015/04/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-brownies-recipe/
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I sure haven’t changed it Olivia and to be honest, I can’t think what might be going wrong. I would suggest spooning and leveling the flour for the most accurate measurement. Have you tried baking it a few minutes more? So frustrating – I’m sorry!
Shannon DeMello says
I am making these now and they are taking a lot longer to cook. Been cooking about 40 min and still really gooey inside. Not sure what is wrong.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
They’re brownies so they’re supposed to be gooey inside 🙂 Don’t know if that will help or not.
Toni says
These look absolutely to die for! I’m definitely going to make them after my last exam as a post-exam treat!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sounds like a plan to me Toni!
Julie @ Julie's Eats & Treats says
Seriously. You have perfected these. They look amazing. I wish I could reach across the computer screen for a little dessert right now!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Awww! Thanks Julie!!
Cyndi - My Kitchen Craze says
These look awesome Trish!!! I agree this food blogging stuff is hard work, but so worth it. 😉 I wish I could jump through the screen and grab a few right now. 😉
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Hehe! I wish you could too Cyndi 🙂 Thanks girl!
Amber @ The Bewitched Baker says
Mmm, I’d say for the perfect peanut butter brownies, eating a little extra peanut butter is a worthy sacrifice, and we thank you for it. 🙂 These look positively scrumptious.
marcie says
Thank you for working so hard on this recipe for us — they look beyond amazing! Pinning to try these very soon!
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
I can’t resist peanut butter desserts! A pan of these brownies would be devoured in no time!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
“I require magical these days.” Hahahaha! That is totally how I feel about dessert now days! If a dessert doesn’t wow me immediately, it’s back to the drawing board! Now these brownies with all the peanut butter and chip love would have me inhaling the whole pan as fast as I could!!
Tavette says
Now don’t complain. You know we ALL would have volunteered as “taste testers” for whatever you make! It’s 11 p.m. and you’ve got me craving some of these. Thanks for torturing yourself (ha) by making this recipe over and over til you got it just right.
QUESTION: The recipe didn’t mention this, but I’m gonna guess you reserved and then sprinkled a few extra chips on top so they’d stay on top – yes?
Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
I normally fall on the brownie purist side of the spectrum, but… Not when it comes to chocolate or PB chips. Those are totally okay. (Just no nuts. Ever. Period.) I know I’d devour these in a heartbeat!
Barb @ FL Mom's Blog says
Trish,
Hi! Those look delicious! I know that my husband and son both would love those!
Amy @Very Culinary says
These are the kind of recipes that make me miss peanut butter so much. *cries* They look incredible!
Melissa says
Peanut butter and choclate = the perfect combination. Pinned!
Elyzabeth says
I think it looks great! Definitely enough to make me want to try it! Thanks!
Mir says
I take my PB treats VERY seriously, too, Trish! So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this one as perfect as possible. When you use the word “magical,” I have to try them! With or without PB cups as a mix-in!
Kathleen says
These sound fabulous! You’re the BEST for perfecting the recipe for everyone 😉
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
