Chewy Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Brownies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chewy Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Brownies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, grab a 9x9 inch baking pan and grease it well to ensure your brownies come out easily after baking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened margarine with both the white and brown sugars. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take a few minutes. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate them fully. Now, stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and water until everything is well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Once your batter is ready, spread it evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in your preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the top springs back lightly when touched. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting them into 16 delightful squares. Enjoy your chewy, wholesome treat!
