Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Divide the batter into two equal portions. In one portion, whisk in the cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips to create the chocolate batter.
Step 7
Pour half of the vanilla batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Then, add half of the chocolate batter on top. Repeat with the remaining vanilla and chocolate batters.
Step 8
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix; the goal is to create distinct swirls.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the marble bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice into bars and serve.
