Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown butter
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups peanut butter cups

Instructions

  • Freeze peanut butter cups for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown butter in a pan and add to a large mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and whisk together for 2-3 minutes and allow it to cool slightly. Whisk in vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, constantly whisking to prevent the eggs from cooking.
  • Fold in flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until just combined.
  • Roughly chop peanut butter cups and fold half into the batter. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick baking spray or line with parchment paper. Add batter to the pan and top with remaining peanut butter cups.
  • Bake for 25-27 minutes, until batter is no longer jiggly.
