Learn how to make delicious Gooey Chocolate Peanut Butter Brookies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional for extra crunch)

If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate or even white chocolate chips for a unique twist. And if you’re out of brown sugar, mixing white sugar with a bit of molasses can give a similar depth and flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. As a kid, I always found this step to be the most exciting – it meant we were about to create something delicious!
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Growing up, I learned from my mom that sifting dry ingredients ensures a smoother batter, so don’t skip this step if you can help it.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This was always my favorite part, watching the ingredients transform into a creamy mixture.
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. The aroma of vanilla always brings me back to those childhood baking days.
  5. Stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want your brookies to be tender.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  8. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each scoop about 2 inches apart. I always loved sneaking a taste of the dough at this stage – a little chef’s perk!
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly undercooked. This ensures that gooey texture we’re after.
  10. Allow the brookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth it!
