- Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the batter, and mix until thoroughly combined. The batter for these brownies should be thick.1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp Kosher salt
- Fold in the peanut butter and chocolate chips using a spatula to distribute the chips evenly.1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Spread the batter in the cake pan, using a spatula, to make sure there is a consistent depth.
- Bake for 26 to 28 minutes. The brownies are done a couple of minutes before they look done. A simple way to tell when they're done is to insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out streaked in chocolate for medium rare, slightly fudgy brownies.
- Let the brownies cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
