Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, oil, milk, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, stirring until fully combined.
Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
Warm a few tablespoons of peanut butter and drizzle over the top. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use natural creamy peanut butter for best swirl and flavor.

Oat flour can be used for a gluten-free version.

Let brownies cool fully before slicing for clean edges and fudgy texture.

Add espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the fridge.

Freeze individually wrapped brownies for up to 2 months.
