Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until well blended.
- Crack in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously to incorporate air into the batter.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate this mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
Layering and Baking
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter until creamy, then spread half of the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Drizzle a generous amount of caramel sauce on top and dollop the warm peanut butter over it.
- Add the remaining brownie batter on top and gently swirl the caramel and peanut butter into the batter with a knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out (if using parchment paper) and letting them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
For best flavor, avoid overbaking the brownies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
