Chewy, peanut buttery brownies!
I used crunchy peanut butter, substituted 1/3 cup cocoa powder for half of the flour and chocolate chips for the peanuts, and reduced baking powder to about 1/4 tsp. They got devoured...

Followed the directions exactly and they turned out great! Definately a keeper! I did add 2 tbsp of cocoa to give it a little chocolately flavor, just right!
I added another 1/2 cup of peanut butter to make it even more "peanut buttery". PLUS, I added 1 cup of Chocolate Chips! Tasted like a Peanut Butter cup. Very yummy!
Depending on how "nutty" you want them, and if you decide to go with a chunky/extra chunky peanut butter, you can leave out the loose nuts. If you would rather a non-chunky-nutty brownie, add 1/4 cup of creamy PB and substitute 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract for almond extract.

I quadrupled the recipe for a party and added 1/3 cup of cocoa powder and 3/4 cup of sugar and it made the most awesome brownies I and everyone I know have ever tried :)
These were good. I ran out of brown sugar and substituted white sugar. I also left out the peanuts and replaced with chocolate chips. I also made this with natural peanut butter. Once the "brownies" cooled, I made a quick icing out of melted semi-sweet chocolate, more natural peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and thinned it with a little milk. I frosted them with this icing, and they looked and tasted even better. I am not a huge peanut butter fan, but my family and friends are, and they really enjoyed these!
I've made this recipe two nights on a row now. I needed something to make tht was quick and easy and had the ingrediants for as shoppimng day is two days away! the second time I made it it was far better, used only one egg instead of two and added the cocoa that was mentioned here. Had to cook it for 35 minutes and it turned out great.
This was a great recipe but a little bland. It needs a little more. Perhaps peanut butter frosting or chips.
I took advice from one of the ratings and these brownies were amazing! I used crunchy peanut butter, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/3 flour, ¼ tsp baking powder, and a half and half of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Yum!
Wonderful! I was out of peanuts so I used crunchy peanut butter- as I like peanut butter and chocolate and had a trough (I bought a lot when they wernt on sale after X-mas) of Hershey's Kisses, I threw a bunch of those in as well and they were gobbled up! This second time I made them I added the kisses again, used smooth peanut butter, and tossed in a small bag of chopped pecans. They're in the oven now!
These are absolutely delicious! Everyone in my house ate them right up. The only suggestions I have are substituting 1/3c of the flower with cocoa powder. I also used a whole cup of peanut butter to make it more tasty, so I added another table spoon of butter. Definitely a keeper!!
Followed recipe and the suggestion of adding baking cocoa. Used 1/4 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. flour. Cut back the baking powder to 1/2 tsp., and added to the mix 1/2 pkg. of milk chocolate toffee bits. Found the brownies needed a longer period of time baking - 35 minutes. Came out a lovely chocolate colored brownie, very moist and rich. Next time I will follow suggestion on toffee bits pkg of baking the brownies, taking out of oven, then sprinkling bits on top, covering with foil, and leaving the foil on until they are completely cooled. Think this will provide a toffee crunch rather than melting them right in the batter.
These were good. Tasted like a beanutbutter cookie. I was also out of peanuts, so I just used crunchy peanut butter.
i baked this for a group of soldiers who i always use as "guinea pigs"(lol) for my cooking(yes they taste it before i do) and they LOVED it!!! they were "bummed" that i didnt make enough for seconds! theyre requesting more for next week! darn it, i should've had some. i took out about 3 teaspoon of flour and substitute it with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. i also omitted the peanuts and added about half a cup of milk chocolate chips. thanks for the recipe!
Followed the directions and they came out great! Im loving peanut butter right now, and these definitely did the trick!! Good recipe! I will make these again... Thanks Vera!
I used crunchy peanut butter since it was what I had at home and double the amount of peanut butter (cause there's things in life you can't have enough of... health, money, peanut butter...), these turned out amazing, I'll be definitely making these again.
These are a big hit with my familly. The only change I made is substituting chocolate chips for the peanuts. We will definitely be making them again!
I don't even like brownies, but I really enjoyed these! I, too, added some cocoa powder and a little extra white sugar, as well as some almond extract. I also used crunchy peanut butter instead of p/b and peanuts separately. They were delicious!
Well, I was looking for something peanut-buttery... and decided to give this recipe a shot. It turned out Delish! I wouldn't say it's a "chewy" brownie, but definitely soft & moist. I added walnuts instead of salted peanuts. I'm very pleased with this and will make it again.
Added the 2 tbs ( maybe a bit more) of cocoa powder and best brownies we ever made! Thanks so much for sharing, delish!
I followed the recipe except the peanuts(didn't have any, replaced with chocolate chips).. Only 3 star rating because even though I cooked them for 22 minutes, they came out dry and gritty textured...still tasty but more cake texture then brownie.. Also agree with person who said picture is false advertising...they are brownish in color..NOT chocolate unless u add cocoa, will do next time...
I made this recipe exactly how it's written BUT I used extra crunchy peanut butter and no chopped peanuts (because I didn't have any) sooooo good!
There must be something wrong with this recipe because they all disappeared minutes after they were done! I was doubting because there is no chocolate but the peanut butter stands alone. I altered nothing and they were delicious!
These are really good, peanutty and chewy. I didn't want to dilute the peanut butter flavour with chocolate, so I stuck to the chopped peanuts. I will definitely be making these again, they are so easy to make, great for when a quick treat is needed.
These were great! I used 1/3c cocoa for half the flour, cut baking powder back to 1/2tsp and tossed in some milk choco chips and peanut butter chips I needed to use up. Delicious plenty of peanut butter flavor and not overly sweet.
When you're looking for something a little different than the basic brownie, try this one. Heavenly!
This recipe should call for cocoa powder! I followed recipe exactly and wished I had added the cocoa powder! They tasted alright... just seemed they were missing something... like CHOCOLATE!! I ended up adding ice cream and chocolate syrup on top and then they were good.
These were just ok. I added cocoa powder and chocolate chips and that is what I think made these a bit better, but as it is, it's not so good. Peanuts don't really go well with brownies, walnuts maybe, but not peanuts. I'd only recommend this recipe if you omit the peanuts, and add cocoa or chocolate chips, and more peanut butter too. Oh well, better luck next time.
These were ok, but nothing too special. I added choco chips instead of peanuts, which I think helps the sweetness and the flavour. Won't be making them again though.
These sounded good. It isn't that they tasted really bad, they were just very greasy. Also, they didn't seem to ever really firm up and were very flat. Won't be making them again....sorry.
These were pretty good. I reduced the flour to 1'3 cup and added 1/3 cup cocoa, as other users suggested. But for some reason, after I mixed all the ingredients in accordance with the directions, they were more of a cookie dough consistency. I added another egg and about a 1/4 cup of milk to make it a batter. But they cooked up well and did taste quite good, regardless. Maybe needs more PB next time though.....
I thought this would turn out really good, but it turned out dry with no taste at all. Will not be making these again.
This was a great quick and easy recipe I used crunchy peanut butter and swirled chocolate syrup on top and it marbled through the whole thing, it seemed a little drub to us so we added cream cheese frosting on top also and it was great!
Good starter recipe. My 12 year old made these. I would highly recommend using the peanut butter frosting from this site to top these babies.... I added Pecans because that is what we had. Thanks for an easy recipe...All the brownies are gone..... :)
This sounded yummy, but I made adjustments. I replaced vanilla extract with liquid hazelnut creamer and put in a cup of chocolate chips and a cup of marshmallows. It only cooked for 15 min. before the marshmallows looked like they were going to burn. Not a problem. Still firm and chewy. I added a melted chocolate chip layer to smooth out the lumpy surface.
These are very moist and yummy! I skipped the chopped peanuts (just because I didn't have any on hand) and added 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. There seems to be mixed opinions on the baking time. I say, be careful not to over-bake these! They may seem under done when they first come out of the oven, but they definitely firm up as they cool.
Recipe is easy to follow and really delicious. I used wheat flour and used unsalted peanuts. I poured 1 cup of chocolate chips on top of the brownies after they were baked. I turned the oven off and placed the brownies in there so the chocolate would melt (few minutes). Then I evenly spread the chocolate all over the brownies. They are absolutely delicious!
Wasn't much of a brownie as it was a cake. It needed some sort of frosting on top. Very plain. It just wasn't what I anticipated.
Followed the directions, with only one change. I added 2T of cocoa. It was a bit too bland and a bit too cakey. Will not be making it again.
I just baked these up, and they are pretty good. It was quick and simple, all with ingredients I had on hand. My fiance loves them. I added 2 tbsp baking cocoa as someone else suggested, otherwise followed the recipe. Mine had to bake for 30+ minutes, when I took them out the middle was still moist but I figured it would finish up with the leftover heat as it cooled... I didn't want to burn the edges. I do enjoy them, not too sweet, but still a little bland. I think adding something like maple syrup would liven it up, but I'm a terrible baker so I can't stray from recipes too much lol.
These are really great, and every time I make them they go right quick, cause everybody wants some:) Great recipe!
These were all right, not too peanut buttery, the dough was really good. I sprinkled Reese pieces on top.
These were good. Wouldn't change a thing. They were good straight out of the oven, but they get better and chewier after you let them cool off.
NEEDS SUGAR!!!! Or at the very least, some choc. chips. Then it would be a 4 or 5 star.
Rating is for recipe as written - I made a batch of the original and then one with 1/3 c cocoa and 1/3 c flour and the cocoa batch was FAR better - 5 stars for that one.
I made changes to the recipes based on a previous review's suggestions: substituted cocoa powder for half of the flour, chocolate chips instead of peanuts and reduced the baking powder to 1/2 tsp. These were good, not great.
DELISH!!! except I think the cocoa taste was a little strong... I think I will use more sugar or less cocoa next time.
I made these yesterday and i'm only thirteen. They turned out great. I also put little Hershey bars on them.
These were tasty and easy to make, but like other reviewers, I recommend reducing the sugar and adding chocolate chips. I also undercooked them just slightly so they would be a little gooey in the middle - it was the perfect balance between cakey-ness and gooey-ness.
First of all, don't go by the picture posted with the recipe. It obviously is wrong because there's no cocoa powder in these! Anyway, I baked the brownies for 25-30 minutes like the recipe said and they were way too gooey at the end. I ended up putting them in for 10 minutes longer, but then they were dry. I didn't care for these, sorry.
fantastic! I would suggest adding some cocoa to the recipe. I thought it was a tiny bit dry but otherwise it was great!
Good recipe. I combined 2 recipes and added 1 and a half cup of chocolate chips melted with 4 tbsp. of butter for a topping. I also added chocolate chips to the batter.
I followed the recipe exactly, the brownies ended up being dry so I made a chocolate gnoche to go over top, it made the texture of the brownies better, but they were still quite dry.
I wasn't very fond of these. I like the chewy-gooey type brownies, and these were very cakey. I need to remember never to make a brownie recipe that contains baking powder!
These had a good flavor, but were very flat compared to most brownies. Maybe it was because I baked them in a glass baking pan? Good flavor, but I ended up splitting them horizontally and sandwiching the halves with raspberry filling for PB&J brownies - just to give them a little height.
I was raised on desserts such as home made peanut butter cookies and this is the best ever. Almost like MOMS.
Wow! This is great! I have a boyfriend that can't have chocolate and sleep together so I made these (he is a peanut butter hound) and he is begging me to make it once again. It is so simple and so good.
I'm always on the lookout for a good dessert recipe since my DH is allergic to chocolate. This was great-- had the richness of brownies just with peanut butter. I followed the recipe except I used crunchy PB so I left out the extra nuts. I'm sure it would be great with choc chips. The photo really is not right; the brownie shown is chocolate.
What a surprise! I was looking for a last minute quick recipe to take to a party. I didn't even add the peanuts and they still have an awesome full-peanutty taste. Thanks for the recipe. I will make these over & over. I also put a thin layer of chocolate frosting on top of mine. Penny
They were pretty good. I used natural peanut butter (no added sugar) and a heaping cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of peanuts. The taste was delicious - just the right amount of sweetness. The texture was more cakey than I would have liked.
I added a cup of chocolate chips instead of peanuts. They were AMAZING. My husband is not usually a sweet tooth but he helped me polish these off!
most definitely a 5 star! So amazing and moist. I had no peanuts, so I omitted them. Instead I added a cup of chocolate chips. I recommend this to all occasions!
This was very good. I doubled the recipe and still only used 2 eggs. I used 4 tablespoons of cocoa and 1 and 1/4 c peanut butter. I also used chocolate chips and omitted the peanuts cause I didn't have any on hand. This is a keeper!
I used crunchy peanut butter, and added about a 1/2 cup extra to make it more peanut-buttery, since I love peanut butter--but I think it would have been better with the original amount. Substituted 1/3 c. cocoa powder for half the flour, which would probably have been a good change except that I couldn't taste the chocolate through all the PB. I was going to use choc. chips instead of peanuts, but forgot to add them, so when I was done baking I just melted some chips on top. It was yummy but next time I think I'll put the chips inside the brownies instead. They turned out good, a little too cake-y for me, but that might have been because of all the changes I made. Next time I think I'll stick closer to the actual recipe. They were GREAT with vanilla ice cream though! :)
Tasty! Had to omit the peanuts because I had none but put some homemade chocolate frosting on top and these were great.
These are the most delicious brownies EVER. I made them once last winter during a snow storm, and they absolutely got me through it. They are unbelievably divine.
these where so good . i made them for a bake sale & they ran out! just a little to much sugar.
Turned out pretty well. But I would suggest adding 2 - 3 tablespoons of dark cocoa. Depending on your taste, definatly got the color I wanted after I had added the second time.
Great recipe!! I used whole wheat flour and added chocolate chips, and as the previous poster said, they look nothing like the picture, but they are delicious!
Absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe (bake for 45 mins if you do this!), substituted half of the flour for cocoa powder (2/3 cups of each for a double batch), added chocolate chips instead of peanuts, and they came out the right amount of gooey and chewey. :) This is a dangerous recipe to have around for those late night chocolate cravings!
Really really good. Nice and moist and chewy. I did use a 9x9 pan and baked for 22 mins and they were prefect. I ended up making a second batch after tasting the first one. Super easy to throw together with stuff you normally have on hand a total keeper.
These came out perfect! They were moist like a brownie. I doubled the recipe and used splenda brown sugar and also added chocolate chips instead of peanuts. In addition I used chunky peanut butter instead of creamy. I'll be making these again!
These were quite good, although I don't consider them to have an overly strong peanut butter flavour, despite them being called Peanut Butter Brownies. I made a full plus half of the recipe (for 18 servings) & baked in a 9" square pan. I did swap out some of the flour and added some good quality dark cocoa powder (ratio was 2/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup cocoa). Frosted with One Minute Chocolate Icing from this site...yummy!
I think 25 minutes is too long to bake this dish. Mine turned out a little too done around the edges. I also added whole salted peanuts. Should have crushed them. The taste is good though. Next time I'll do it a little different. I'll review it again, hopefully with better results.
It was okay. good with milk. They came out VERY dry and it tasted interesting. I followed the recipe. I just did not enjoy it and neither did my family.
My roommate said "4 and 3/4s" but I thought a 4.. it baked up with a great crust and was pretty gooey inside. I did add the extra PB as suggested by other reviewers, because you can ALWAYS have more peanut butter!
i substituted half the flour for cocoa, but i must have missed the part where more sugar was added. They need much more sugar if you add cocoa.
This recipe was good but a little plain. I would advise adding some chocolate in. Also, the picture is false advertising; it does not look anything like it. Overall, I would give this 4 out 5 stars.
Loved them! Modifications: 1. crunchy peanutbutter instead of smooth. 2. omit peanuts. 3. add 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. They were nice a gooey and yummy!
Because this recipe doesn't have any chocolate in it I replaced the nuts with smooshed mini peanut butter cups. And I also just spread melted chocolate chips on top as a candy crust! It's sweet but broken up as small bites it's great with coffee!!
From a huge peanut butter lover, these were good. However they were lacking a little bit, probably some chocolate chips would make this a definite 5 star
I made these for a friend's birthday, and had to use egg substitute which made them super crumbly and not very consistent. Otherwise, quite good!
This recipe calls for NO chocolate, so they're really a peanut butter cookie bar. I even added 1/3 cup cocoa for half of the flour as suggested and they turned out only slightly chocolate-y. Try using melted chocolate chips or even more cocoa powder to achieve the results shown in the picture. I would recommend only creamy peanut butter and the addition of peanut butter chips as well; this gave creamier results.
these are VERY good. the one thing that turned it from a 3-star to a 4-star for me was i added a cup of chocolate chips to give it more flavor.
These are just o.k. Not much flavor in the brownies. Needs more peanut butter and some frosting.
This was a great recipe. I've also used this recipe and added 2 oz. baking chocolate for a great choco-PB brownie.
I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out very dry and crumbly. Not chewy at all, like the recipe claims. I also agree with another reviewer that it was kind of bland, needs something more to it. Definitely will not make this again.
My husband in a peanut butter nut and he ate the whole pan of these. Awesome!
