Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Peanut butter chips
• 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture, whisking until well combined.

Step 5

Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 9

Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares.

Step 11

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
