- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Notes
- For added texture, use crunchy peanut butter or sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
- To achieve clean slices, chill the brownies for 20 minutes before cutting.
