Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Prepare the Frosting: While the brownies are cooling, make the peanut butter frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the top.
Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Frosted Brownies!
