Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar and whisk until combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly lightened in color.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir just until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top.
- Bake 28 to 34 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly browned. A pick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. Don’t over-bake. The center should look slightly underdone.
- Place the pan on a wire rack. Immediately sprinkle lightly with flaky salt.
- Cool completely before lifting from the pan and cutting into squares.
Notes
- Peanut butter: Use conventional creamy peanut butter, such as Jif or Skippy, for the best consistency. Natural peanut butter that separates may produce different results.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 to 4 days.
