Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Natural styles can be used but may change texture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Reduce to 3/4 cup for a less sweet bar.
  • 2 large eggs Use room-temperature eggs for easier mixing.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour for gluten-free option.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Reduce for nut-free version.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark) Use dairy-free chips for a vegan version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until the batter is uniform and slightly fluffy.
  4. Stir in all-purpose flour and salt. Mix until just combined — avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Tap the pan on the counter to level the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
