  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips plus about 1/3 cup more for garnishing
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips plus about 1/3 cup more for garnishing
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by spraying or greasing it.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix together sugar, butter, and water. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until the butter has melted. Stir in 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Then, add the flour and baking soda, stirring until the mixture is fully blended. Let it cool to room temperature, then fold in 1/2 cup each of peanut butter chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup, filling them evenly.
  5. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out slightly wet for the best texture. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. The centers may fall as they cool; if needed, gently create a divot with the back of a teaspoon.
  6. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the creamy peanut butter on high for 45 seconds, then stir. While brownies are hot, spoon about a teaspoon of the warm peanut butter into the center of each brownie. Garnish with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
