For the Base
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
For the Dry Mixture
- 1 cup All-purpose flour

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Mix the creamy peanut butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Blend until smooth and creamy, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract.
Whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Cool completely before slicing into squares.
Optional: Sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top before serving for a delightful flavor contrast.
