Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use natural peanut butter in this recipe?

Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but keep in mind that it might alter the texture slightly.

If using natural peanut butter, make sure to stir it well before measuring.

Is it necessary to sift the dry ingredients before adding them to the batter?

Sifting the flour, baking soda, and salt is recommended to ensure an even distribution of these ingredients and prevent lumps in the batter.

It contributes to a smoother texture in the brownies.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

Yes, you can use crunchy peanut butter for added texture and nuttiness.

It will give the brownies a different consistency, but it’s a delicious variation.

How can I tell if the brownies are done baking?

The brownies are done when the top springs back when lightly touched, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

Be cautious not to overbake to keep them chewy.

Can I add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor?

Absolutely! Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even swirl in some chocolate ganache before baking to customize the brownies to your liking.
