Peanut Butter Brookies -- brownies and cookies in one pan! So easy to make and everyone will love them!

Easy to make Peanut Butter Brookies-- peanut butter cookie on the bottom; brownie on the top!I tried out the Peanut Butter Brookies as my husband loves peanut butter in desserts. It was fairly simple to make, it was easy to cut and remove from the pan, and it was gone in a couple of days!

Directions for making Peanut Butter Brookies:

  1. Combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 large egg.
  2.  Press into the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I used my clean hands.)
  3. Melt 2 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate, 2 ounces of semisweet baking chocolate, and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) of butter in the microwave, stirring frequently until mixture is melted and smooth. Add 1 3/4 cup sugar, 3 large eggs, 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup flour.
  4. Pour the batter on top of the peanut butter cookie crust and carefully spread it over the bottom layer.
  5. Bake for 32-38 minutes until the top is slightly cracked around the edges.
  6. Cool completely in pan then slice into bars.

I want to try making this with a store-bought brownie mix on the top for an easy dessert to take someplace!

    I’m trying to cut back on my sugar and this is so not helping, haha. They look amazing. Cannot wait to try them. Thanks for hosting Tasty Tuesday.

    I love baking muffins. They seem to turn out well for me.

    Now to your picture of the bars!!!!!! That rocks!! And those bars look really good. I will have to make those for Glenn. He loves peanut butter.

      Aww! Thanks so much! I went and played with my camera today taking pictures of the kiddos outside (just my youngest two and the child I babysit.) Too bad they won’t stand still!

    Those look incredible Tammy! Would love the cookbook, but I don’t live in the States. 🙂 I’ll have to see what recipes are your favorites when I come back!

    • Tammy Doiel says

      You can copy the ones you like! I tried some new ones for mom’s birthday. We liked them, but I don’t know if I’ll make those again. We said we just have so many good desserts!

    I enjoy baking all sorts of things. But, I haven’t been baking as much as I used to. Normally for Christmas I bake lots of cookies and candy to use for gifts 🙂

  14. Louida says

    My favorite dessert to bake would have to be cookies since they’re easy to make. Those peanut butter brookies looks soooooo good! #ProductReviewParty

    I love to make oreo cheesecakes. They are really simple and really fast, and loved by everyone.

  21. Ally says

    I like almost anything easy! Bar cookies or something in a pan (cake, cobbler), anything. It all depends on my mood (and what looked good on Pinterest that day).

    I love baking cakes. Last night I made a coffee cake. I’m still working on getting it just right.

    My children and I love to make cupcakes and muffins even though muffins are usually breakfast food.

  34. Allison says

    I really like to bake lemon bars when I am going to a party or event! Thanks so much for the chances to win.

  35. Jeffrey says

    I like baking cakes and have recently started making them from scratch. I have perfected my chocolate cake, at least of my taste buds. I use a chocolate stout, it really enhances the flavor.

  36. ten b says

    I LOVE to bake – cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, brownies, pies, yeah – if it’s sweet and baked, I’m all for it. 🙂
