- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ salt
- 2 large egg
- ⅓ cup margarine, softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and margarine until smooth and combined.
Gradually add the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla, continuing to mix until the batter turns light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then slowly stir the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and no streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into 16 squares and serving.
