Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350*

Line a 9x11 baking dish with parchment paper

In a large mixing bowl, mix melted butter and sweetener until well combined

Add eggs, and vanilla extract and beat with a hand mixer (You can do this all by hand but using a mixer will give it a smoother texture)

Mix in cocoa powder and PB2

Sift the remaining dry ingredients (carbquik and baking powder) into the mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until all ingredients are well combined and your batter is free of lumps.

Pour batter into baking dish and bake on the middle rack at 350* for 25 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean. For me, this was exactly 25 minutes.

SERVE AND ENJOY!!!
