Can I use natural peanut butter for these brownies?

What can I add to make them more decadent?

For a rich peanut butter dessert, consider adding chocolate chips or a swirl of melted chocolate on top. You can also mix in chopped nuts for extra crunch. The possibilities are endless!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a 9″x9″ metal or glass baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together thoroughly.
Slowly add the eggs, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
Slowly add the flour and baking powder mix to the peanut butter mixture and mix or fold to combine. Do not over mix!
Smooth the batter into the 9″x9″ pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
The brownies will feel soft or “raw” but will harden as they cool.

Notes

Over mixing will result in fluffy cake-like brownies instead of chewy ones.
The brownies will have a slightly wet look in the middle but should be cooked.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for the best texture.
