Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped unsalted walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them until smooth and creamy.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.

          Add Chocolate Chips and Walnuts: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool on a wire rack completely. Once cool, slice into squares and enjoy!
